Listen "City Owls"
Episode Synopsis
Some owls, like Barred Owls and Great Horned Owls, live in the city. As hunters, they find a lot to eat in the city — like rats or squirrels! Both favor urban parks, cemeteries, and botanical gardens — places with big trees — and both roost during the day. The Great Horned Owl, like this one, might appear like an enormous housecat sitting upright. The Barred Owl often perches down low, where it’s easy to spot.BirdNote is supported by American Bird Conservancy, dedicated to conserving wild birds and their habitats throughout the Americas.
