If you participated in our little bird identification quiz yesterday… here is the answer. The image we posted was of a baby barn owl.

Its heart shaped face was a give away. This shape acts as a “satellite-dish” funneling the sounds–helping them to locate food, which usually consists of small mammals (rats, mice, voles, etc.) that they can find in complete darkness.

Barn owls usually have a clutch size of 2-18 eggs, which incubate for 29-34 days in a nest built from shredded, regurgitated pellets (bird barf of indigestible material) that is carefully arranged into a bowl-shape. These owls are found across the lower 48 states and portions of Canada.
