Ghost-white heart face, a scream that could headline a horror movie, hearing good enough to hunt in total darkness, and an 18-egg clutch that horrified us personally. Plus Hannah's 6-year unsolicited owl-gift saga and our celebrity doppelganger picks. Build a nest box. Skip the rodenticide.\n\nMusic by Fknsyd\nSources:\nhttps://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Barn_Owl/overview\nhttps://blog.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barn_Owl/lifehistory\nhttps://blog.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Barn_Owl/id\nhttps://guardiansofgahoole.fandom.com/wiki/Tyto_(genus)\nhttps://guardiansofgahoole.fandom.com/wiki/Pure_Ones_(Movie)\nhttps://www.owlresearchinstitute.org/species-account/american-barn-owl\n2024 NACC/SACC proposal to split Tyto furcata as its own species (full text PDF): https://americanornithology.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024-C.pdf\nPayne (1971) acoustic-hunting study — contemporary summary in Nature: https://nature.com/articles/232523a0.pdf\nKonishi, \"How the Owl Tracks Its Prey,\" American Scientist (flight-speed detail): https://www.americanscientist.org/node/2084\nFlieg (1971), \"Tytonidae × Strigidae cross produces fertile eggs,\" full text via SORA: https://sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/journals/auk/v088n01/p0178-p0178.pdf\nBoves & Belthoff (2012) Idaho road-mortality study, abstract/full record: https://scholarworks.boisestate.edu/bio_facpubs/258\nSokoine University of Agriculture (2023–24), Tanzania maize/owl nest-box study: https://journals.eanso.org/index.php/eajab/article/view/4475\nhttps://youtu.be/Q9HVhqXI8PY?si=H_o_BXJ2xCXbKPwR\nhttps://youtu.be/d_FEaFgJyfA?si=4_aoUDktzxGR5Pqg","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/4cdikkvtYTH7Ou38nrAALypCR5hxu3XQmPDdp6NMU2c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YzVk/YmE5OTdhNTY5MDFk/OTJkZWZjYjlkODUx/ZTI4ZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
