From the Center for Wildlife

Humans aren’t the only ones out there celebrating the season of love. Many species, like our friends the barred owl are in the midst of carrying out courtship rituals in preparation for breeding season.

Courtship behaviors for the barred owl include a variety of physical contact including affectionate preening and some fun dance moves like head bobbing. This is a great time of year to get out and listen to your local owls as well!

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us here at Center for Wildlife!

    I read ‘owl divorce’ and clicked the article. Did not disappoint. Good read.
