It's that time of year where I feel a call to search for owls! I've been seeing a pair of GHO often in my neighborhood and feel blessed! I searched some old hangouts of Eastern Screech Owls in Larimer County today with no luck. Has anyone else had any luck with ESOs in the area recently?

Thank you Mark Amershek for posting on DFO's Facebook page urging people not to photograph raptors at or near nests. I have recently been very concerned about owls that have been seen at Cherry Creek State Park. Word got out of the location of two unusual owls. Immediately, many people

Hi all, A friend and I were at my pygmy-owl nest for two and a half hours before we watched the female enter the cavity with a chipmunk. This pair has to hunt far a field from theri nest to find food because it is so dry in the area of the nest. There are at least two young in the nest and I
