Owl is one of predators that visit our neighborhood frequently. It seems that their population is fluctuating. We noticed their number are increasing recently, after almost disappear about 5 years ago.
Our state, Louisiana hosts for 8 species of owls. At least two species are observed in our neighborhoods, they are: Barred owl, Strix varia and Barnes owl,Tyto alba
The main reason these owls reappear in our areas could be due to re-growing of large and mature trees which provide shelter for them. They love maples, oaks and pines.
Another factor that they attract with plenty of rodents, which are their main prey. Other sources of foods are birds, amphibians, squirrels, rabbits and bats.
How many owls species in your areas?

I have never seen an owl... but it is said to bring luck
ReplyDeleteWe used to have two in the tree across the street. They are so interesting. We have an owl refuge here in the Fontenelle Forest. Of course, I think we kept calling them barn owls.
ReplyDeleteVery cool post. Thanks for mentioning them.

ReplyDeleteTrue, owls love tall trees.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many species of owls in my environs. I think that frogs are their favourite lunch :-) Nice post, Tanza!
Enjoy the rest of this sunny Sunday!

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post! It's amazing to see the Barred Owls returning to your neighborhood after a decline. In Bangalore, we're fortunate to have around 10 species of owls that can be found in our city. Some of the common ones include the Spotted Owlet, Barn Owl, Mottled Wood Owl and Collared Scops Owl.
ReplyDelete10 species in the city is amazing...
