I hear them at night but never seen them. They are just behind my property here in Texas. I believe it is a Great Horned Owl. Great information, thanks!

Great video. Will try to use these tips when I'm out looking for them. I've only heard them and seen one fly from maybe 50 feet away, I'd love to see one up a little closer. Northern Saw-whets are so cute! And burrowing owls

Do owl boxes need to be cleaned? I'm consider placing one high up in a tree but it won't be easy to reach regularly.

I’m new to Owls but am learning fast. I have a large Owl box I’m mounting on a 12’ pole like a lever in case bats or squirrels move in with about 4-5” of cedar shavings, a birdbath. Also putting wooden pole for perches. I live in Winston Salem , NC. And I have a good patch of woods with a storm drain that holds water going out to a large pond. There are humans around and we are over run with pigeon. What kind of Owls do you think live in my area? Thanks! I liked and am subscribing to your videos.

I'm from Erie, PA and was so pleasantly surprised that so much of the video was related to PA and Western PA to be specific!! Super helpful! I haven't seen an owl in over 2 years, and that was from a far. Last time i saw a owl relatively close was about a decade ago on Presque Isle, it was a barn owl too! 😊💜

Would you say it's better to look around at dusk or dark hours rather than daytime? I know it's currently nesting season for many owl species and I have an area in mind where I could go. I went there yesterday and I spotted a lot of birds of prey in the air. It's an area with a lot of open landscapes and a bit of forest. I'm thinking of going there during late hours, because maybe I can spot an owl flying in an open field or maybe I can hear one call. I know barn owls tend to by quite visible in the air. I've never seen an owl during the daytime, but I tend to look out for signs. I'm very busy, so I don't know when I'll have the time to go, but I will come back here once I have seen one! The shitty thing is that I lost my binoculars a few months back, one day they just despawned from my home :( This video was very clear and helpfull, thanks!

I came home the other night from the grocery store to find the smarts cutest little tiny owls both maybe only five inches tall sitting on the alley way to my home they both looked at me come to find out they are eastern screech owls … after about five minutes of staring they few off into the night I’m buying them a owl house so they hopefully will come back in your experience will they? I’m so lucky t have gotten to see them !

Owl enthusiast here - thank you for such an informative video, you speak so eloquently! I really liked the way you structured this video as well, makes it enjoyable and easy to follow along. Thank you for including the ethics conversation, I think that is essential for a first time observers to understand. Only fact critique I have for your video is your correlation between eyecolor and the times that they are active. I don’t believe owl eyecolor can give you such an indication. there are many owls with yellow eyes that are purely nocturnal, and owls with black eyes that are crepuscular.

I walk my dogs from like 11pm to 2am. I see like two owls a week. I think the trick is just walk around suburbs around patches of woodland late at night and you'll see owls with relative frequency.

Do different groups have different “languages” like orcas? Or are their calls born into them and all of them have the same calls and meanings?
@psychedfornature436611 ай бұрын
That is a really interesting question! I am not entirely confident in the answer but I have consulted with some PhD student friends and this is our collective attempt at an answer. Their calls are innate but also parts of them are socially learned (to a certain degree). Out of the 6 species of vervets (with a debated 7th) only 2 species have been studied for their vocalisations thusfar (Chlorocebus sabaeus and C. pygerythrus), so we don’t really know enough to make strong conclusions yet. However, their calls are not quite as complex as orca communication, and ‘cultural’ differences are not apparent as of now. Vervet calls are definitely less flexible. I personally hear distinct differences in C. sabaeus and C. pygerythrus alarm calls, but this variation is not the same kind as languages and there is a potential that if those alarms are played in the opposite species group, they would respond appropriately (I would be so interested to test that)! I hope this answers your question and that I didn’t go too far off on tangents.

This video was so useful! I’m obsessed with owls, live in NYC and have been trying to find the ones in Central Park for a little bit now. I started last winter with my man but the hunt was cut short because it got super crazy cold out and I also just couldn’t understand what people were saying about the coordinates in Central Park. I’m already horrible at directions, then you add that in and I was CONFUSED. I’m dying to see one in person, that isn’t behind bars. I saw the one at parrots of the world (barred owl) it’s amazing omg and that’s my fav owl. I saw it in like 2016 or something. But anyway I will use your tips to HOPEFULLY find one in its natural habitat. Thank YOU! ❤

Was fortunate enough to see the Northern Saw-Whet Owl Aegilicus acadicus while living in North Carolina! Pretty much the only small area of it’s southern distribution in the Shining Rock Wilderness area! Very tame little owls! Quite a highlight for me and my buddy who were studying fish and wildlife mgmt at a nearby comm. college! Great video! I still head out all the time in search of the various Owl Species! I’ve moved back to the Erie, PA area! Lots of species here!

if one ever has spare cash laying around, i highly recommend getting a nightvision monocular with infrared(being able to take pictures/video optional ofcourse) so you can go out bird spotting at night, their calls are ever revealing as to when and where you should look. great times, doesnt apply to photographers obviously lol, but if youre just there to observe, invest if you have some laying around on the side! edit: depends on which type of owl is in your area ofcourse, in my neck of the woods, theyre more often than not nocturnal

We saw a barred owl around 5:00 pm in our local park about 10 yards into the entry of the woods today!!! We were estatic!!! I was suggesting to my gf to do a hooty call when she randomly looked to the right of us and saw him on a branch, clear as day, about 20 feet away!! He looked at us and amazingly we watched, took pics and videos for a good 40 minutes!! A couple of adults with kids came along and scared him off with all the noise, unfortunately.
