Short-Eared Owls are slightly unusual owls that can be found in many places throughout the world. The only continents where you won’t find them are Australia and Antarctica.
Laying eggs is thought to be the original way that animals evolved to reproduce. Live births evolved later on in many different animals, many different times. Egg-laying is known as oviparity.
Spotted Owls are rare owls that are found in old-growth forests. They have rounded heads and wings, and are brown with white spots. They like undisturbed, mature forests and suffer when there are big changes in their habitats.
One of the great senses that owls have is their hearing. This allows them to hunt and pinpoint exactly where their prey is, even if they’re hidden under the brush. Owls’ eyes are in the front of their head – something that’s unlike other bird species – because there isn’t any room on the sides of their head since their ears are there!
Great Gray Owls are huge members of the Strigidae family. They are between the size of a Great Horned Owl and a Bald Eagle. However, their size is mainly due to their feathers. When it comes to weight, they’re not the biggest owls.
Barn Owls tend to go with the flow, as long as the place they decide on has an available food source and allows them to reproduce. Everything else is almost fair game. Are you flexible like a Barn Owl is when it comes to choosing a home?
These owls are found in the United States and Canada, usually in mature forests that are close to a body of water. They have dark eyes and are brown and white. On their fronts, they are white with brown streaks going vertically. On their chests and necks, the brown streaks are horizontal.
The Whiskered Screech Owl is another screech owl species that you can find in America. Within the United States, they have a limited range, and are found in the southern regions of New Mexico and Arizona. From there, they can be found throughout Mexico and Central America.
