[edit] Daytime active?
Of the North American owls, they are the species most likely to be active during the day, especially when raising their chicks. Is this true? Short-eared Owl, Snowy Owl and Burrowing Owl all hunt readily during the day? Or should it read of the exclusively American owls...? jimfbleak 07:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Not endangered
These owls are not endangered in any sense of the word, and yet they remain on the endangered species list for New Jersey. 71.250.249.15 19:41, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Kolef88
[edit] Eating a fox?
In the paragraph on feeding this article claims a barred owl will kill a fox which seems to be a pretty crazy statement. The reference for the paragraph is The Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds. Does anyone have a copy who can verify this? I find the claim of eating opossums equally dubious unless we are talking about babies. If this is the case it must be made clear. Perhaps the original reference said they eat fox squirrels. This is far more likely. Kirkmona (talk) 14:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
