I've been trying to find a good starting point to research worldwide mythologies about owls. Your comprehensive and concise article on owl mythology really helped me find some inspiration! Thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for the helpful information on Owl Folklore.
My Mom always said hearing an owl means death at your door. This morning at 3:20 am an owl woke us up hooting for almost 10 minutes non-stop. We're living in a new house, the trees planted are very small. The owl was in our neighbors tree which is near our fence. The hooting was loud.
Please don't give out my email address.
Thanks!

Hi there
I,ve just found your site via google.I'm completely new to Raptors and looking to learn about them.I would like to eventually own one,but need to gain knowledge of what's required.For example would it be fair to keep one and not "Hunt"with it.I have ample space to fly a bird but am not too keen on the hunting aspect.Am I being unpracticle?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.
G.Williams.

Your info was helpful but I did not know they could possibly live to 80 years in captivity. I have an eagle owl and I use her for my education program "Wind in my Feathers". Jack Hanna said the other day on tv that the eagle owls have 500 pounds of pressure when they go down for a kill- do you have any info about this fact? Thank you for your info in your article.

VERY usefull! I would suggest you to separate (using some colors, bold text and fonts oftenly using paragraphes) given informations. I am from Croatia, excuse me because of my english :D)
Go on, you are doing very well!
And one more thing...goshawk´s "gentilis" means not a noble but demotic. Check out this in some latin dictionary, you´ll see I was right ;)

put latin name in the chart or table it would be helpful thank you
but it was helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried to reply by e-mail - but the email address was not accepted.
Can you let me know exactly what you mean as the Latin name is given at the top of the page for each species & also in the complete list of species. Do you mean that it would also be useful to have it in the "Also Called" section at the end - if you think that would be useful then I can easily do that.

Dear Paul
I am the webmaster for the ICBP. We have an association as you wrote the book on birds of prey, for which I provided 57 images!! I volunteer for Jemima - not least as her web designer - although until December, I knew almost nothing of css code!!! I saw from our web stats that someone was referred to our site from yours - hence this email. I noticed that you have not yet been to visit. I was just going to say - I hope some time you might come along - Mima has worked her heart out restoring the old centre - it has been a major undertaking but the place is quickly coming back to life. It would be great to meet you, too.
All the best, Linda Wright

Thank you so much for building this site! I never knew what the difference between buzzards and hawks was. I couldn't understand for the life of me why the beautiful African Augur Buzzard was called a buzzard when in my mind, all I thought a buzzard was was a scrounger like the vulture family. So please, keep the information coming. :]

I am a person that moved from the city, Los Angeles Calif. to Baton Rouge La. and it has been a learning experience in nature.
I saw this huge bird perched in a tree in my yard and when it took off in flight its wing span was unvelievable. I first thought that ir was an owl, but the bird's body size was huge and it did not have the owl like eyes.
This ifformation has truly enlightened me and I am priting the information for future use and for my students in school (I am a school nurse).
Thank you for such detailed information.

I appreciate your Owls in Lore materials. Would like to know more about your sources for this, perhaps you have a bibliography or citation list?
I am keen on this because I am working on a large book on this specific topic (Owls in Myth and Culture), and am trying hard to separate fact from hearsay in this regards.
Thank you so very much for your time and energies here!!!
Of course, I'll be keen to share with you what I have found as well.
Strigologically yours,

When I typed in google that I wanted to see why owls were nocturnal I ment it. This website doesn't tell me anything that I wanted to know so it wasn't very helpful indeed

Have you sent an e-mail to google to let them know they are returning links to sites that don't answer your question.
Seriously though, you should have found out that not all owls are nocturnal, some are crepuscular & some are diurnal - but all are capable of hunting at any time of day or night. The reasons why some owls prefer night-time hunting are evolutionary, hunting at that time of day gave that species the best chances of survival, possibly more prey or less predators - so the full answer would get very complicated because you would then need to answer why their prey is nocturnal or their predators are diurnal (or vice versa, if you are considering the diurnal owls).

I live in the Mid-Atlantic region Baltimore, Maryland. For the past two weeks, I have heard an owl at night outside my house in a pine tree. When it makes its sound, it only says hoo, once. Is there any way to tell what type of owl it is?
I live near woods, a farm, and open space pine trees.
Thanks for your article. I found it very interesting. As well as hearing that owls are wise, I have also heard that they are harbingers of death. Any explanation from your perspective especially about where I live and owls and death would be greatly appreciated.
Be well,
Sharon

Replied by email.
Of the 5 species of owl I found listed as being found in Maryland the most likely species is the Great Horned Owl. The other four species are the Eastern Screech Owl, Barred Owls, Northern Saw-whet Owls & Barn Owls, none of which makes a "Hoo" call.
As for owls being wise & harbingers of death - it's just old myths with no foundation in reality.

A useful site. I had an unexpected visitor to my garden one week ago (Spotted Eagle Owl chick) and needed information in order to give it the best chance. Too date the parents are still feeding it so am hopeful that it will survive. My best estimate is that is around 3 - 4 weeks old so I have a few more weeks of keeping the black kites and pied crows at bay. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for this very informative page - It's the first I have found that seems to be based on 'real life', rather than just re-quoting something found in a pocket guide book! I am trying to identify an elusive bird of prey I have seen briefly only a couple of times and so am looking for things like typical flight, hunting technique, calls etc, not just what the bird would look like if it would sit still on a perch somewhere and wait for me to get the binoculars on it! I think this site is great.
