Did you know??

·        New Hampshire’s woods & swamps are home to several species of owls:  great horned, barred, Eastern screech & Northern saw-whet.

·        Owls are nocturnal, which means they hunt at night.  They have large eyes that can see in the dark & their head turns in all directions.

·        They have sharp claws & hooked beaks.

·        Owls’ ears are hidden under feathers, but they have the best hearing in the world.

·        Winter is when owls nest.   They usually claim an old nest of another species.  Baby owls are called owlets.

·        Owls eat mostly meat including mice, squirrels, rabbits (& other small animals) as well as insects & worms.
