North America has 23 different owl species. But where do they live? And how to spot them?

With that many species, questions are more than justified. Owls are magnificent creatures, but they are still wild birds, so they are not too accustomed to humans. It’s possible to see one or two in your backyard, but these rare sightings should not be taken for granted.

So, if you came here with questions, this is the right place – this category contains our owl-related knowledge. From the beginning of their lives to the end!
