All About Owls: Washington's Most Mysterious Birds

Night belongs to the owls - mysterious and secret. We humans seldom see these ghostly birds, but we remember their silent flight, their eerie eyes, and haunting calls when we do. For most of us, every owl sighting is etched indelibly into our minds. Join master birder Connie Sidles as she takes you into the secret lives of Washington’s many owl species. Nesting season is almost upon us, and the owls will be calling.
