Mary Schmidt from Lichterman Nature Center talks about owls in the garden. In the Mid-South the most common owls are the bard owl, great horned owl, and screech owl. Most of the time you don’t see owls, but you may hear them or see evidence of them. One evidence you may see is an owl pellet. Mary shows Chris how to find out about what the owl is eating by dissecting an owl pellet and looking at the bones. Owls are beneficial to the gardener. They eat many mice, voles and other rodents every night. Smaller owls also eat larger insects. Mary talks about adaptations owls have to make them good night hunters. Mary then shows a barn owl that lives at Lichterman Nature Center.
