OWL WATCHING
Since some owls are diurnal and other are nocturnal,
Study the habitat and behavior or 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 droppings
called "whitewash" and "pellets" of bones and fur.
These will usually indicate a daily perching or roosting site.
Nocturnal owls call more during moonlit 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 in the
middle of a hunt.
Be sure to bring a flashlight with you.
Owls do not associate flashlights with danger,
so they will usually stay around for a while before flying off.
