Discussion thread: OWLS episode is published!
Added 2025-11-05 18:55:51 +0000 UTCThis episode is published and ready to hear wherever you get podcasts. Let's talk about it!
Owls owls owls owls owls. Are they the best birds? Depends on who you ask. (Yes.) Please gaze into a tree and listen to the dulcet sounds of one Dr. R.J. "Rocky" Gutiérrez talking about his field work adventures, why he headed out West, owl eyes, beak clacks, face feathers, hoots, roosts, nests, parenting advice from owls and so much more.
AND: of course it's a 2-parter. There's so much to learn. Next week we'll talk about their frog legs, folklore, owls in the news and a whole host of your questions, Patrons.
Have you listened yet? Let's talk about it! Or tell me about an owl you saw. I'm all un-even ears. (That will make sense after you listen.)
Boy hooty,
Father of Pod Alison Ward

Sharing this article on barred owls in the Western US that I found in Birds & Blooms. It's too bad they are becoming a detriment in the West. I live in Southeastern Massachusetts where they are native and I just love them. Very unfortunate for our barred and spotted owl friends alike. Alas. Thanks for the episode. Just adding to the chat: https://www.birdsandblooms.com/birding/bird-species/birds-of-prey/barred-owl/?_cmp=BNBInsider&utm_audience=&_mid=820229&ehid=58055aa93ea38bb7799905ffc60f25c35dbfa8bd&_PermHash=fb65040cee4e651faadd950953fd5bc3a7d6e2690ec8d930e1119e4c6ccabd3c&tohMagStatus=NONE

My ass doesn’t give a rip, but in case you missed it and want to take it out before a 4th grade science class loses their shit when they hear it right before recess. 😆 We love the episode! Many hugs and pinniped cuddles to you!
