Hello ... Are Barred owls always taking the head first?
Many owls eat the head first, I don't know if Barred Owls do =
this...Bernard Forsythe or Harry Brennan have looked in a lot of Barred =
Owl nests, and would be the ones to consult.
It's not abundantly clear why they're doing this...at the recent owl =
conference I attended, a few of us discussed this but came to no simple =
answer.
