Where Wildlife, Humans, & Ecology Meet
Ecology Blueprints explores the interconnected systems that link wildlife, humans, and their habitats—through science, observation, and hands-on learning.
Because no organism exists alone. When you understand food webs, habitat, and pressure, the species make sense. Ecology isn’t about memorizing animals—it’s about understanding relationships and outcomes.
Screech owls consist of about 25 species of owls within the Strigidae family. They tend to be small, with tufts and coloring that has a pattern similar to tree bark so it’s easy to camouflage.
Step up your game with Great Horned Owl pellets! Because Great Horned Owls eat different prey than Barn Owls, it means that they need to crush up the bones of their prey before they’re made into a pellet.

Owl pellets are regurgitated material of everything that an owl can’t digest – fur, feathers, and bones of their prey. These pellets are a great dissection tool to help students learn problem-solving skills, dissection, and the skeletal structure of animals.
Barn owls have the most variety of prey during the springtime since that’s the time when many animals are having offspring.
How quickly owls develop after they hatch depends on the species of owl. Usually though, a few weeks after hatching, there’s a time where the baby owls will walk around the nest or climb onto a nearby branch.

Are owls territorial? Some are and some aren't. For example, Barn Owls aren't that territorial, which is why you can put several nest boxes on a single piece of land and have multiple Barn Owls in the area.
