TIPS for OWL WATCHERS

  • Since some are diurnal and others are norturnal,study the habitat and behavior for that particular owl
  • The best time to spot an owl is during twilight and before dark.
  • On trees and on the ground ,look for white droppongs called "whitewash"and pellets" of bones and fur. These will usually indicate a daily perching or roosting site.
  • Nocturnal owls call more during moonlight nights before and during the nesting season.
  • Since owls are territorial and curious by nature,try imitating mice or another owl.You can also buy prerecorded owl sounds.(the calls can be distressing to other birds and may distract an owl int the middle of a hunt.
  • Be sure to bring a flashlight with you.Owls do not associate flashilights with danger, so they will usually stay aroound for a white before flying off.
