I wonder if the owl population is decreasing?

# data[].attributes.body
Owls eat insects, spiders, and worms.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why depending on the species of the Owl, why do the types of food sources change?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how owls are so much more quite than other birds. Do they have different physical adaptations that make it easier to hunt at night?

# data[].attributes.body
Owls are predators. They hunt small animals, such as mice.

I wonder if the owls' food sources have left that area.

# data[].attributes.body
I know owls are birds of prey. I know that they eat other living things in order to survive. I know that if something was found after they ate it was something that their body could not digest.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder that if its no more pellets being found if its because something is killing off the owls or if its because something has happened to their food population that they were eating for survival.

# data[].attributes.body
Owls are solitary, nocturnal bird of prey.

I wonder how long an owl watches over their babies before they venture out on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if the lack of pellets has to do with the owls lack of food and if this has caused the population of owls in the area to relocate

# data[].attributes.body
Owls are nocturnal animals. Their pellets contain materials that cannot be digested from the animals that they eat.

# data[].attributes.body
I am wondering if the owls have moved away. Is it due to a lack of food or water? Is there something happening in the community that caused a decrease in the population?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if a change in weather caused any of this to happen

I wonder how many species of owls there are.

# data[].attributes.body
Owls are nocturnal and will eat other smaller animals like mice and snakes. The pellets then expel contain the bones and fur of the animal they ate.

# data[].attributes.body
Has the food that the owls eat in the area decreased?

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the book "White Owl, Barn Owl" owls swallow their prey whole and that is why the need to spit out the bones and fur.

Where have the owls gone?

# data[].attributes.body
Owls are nocturnal. They cannot move their eyes so they turn their heads.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if the proximity to the school has impacted the owls' food source.

# data[].attributes.body
Owls usually live on their own or in pairs. They aren't very friendly and prefer to stay away from too many animals, unless they need them for food.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if there has been a decrease in the amount of food the owls can eat by the soccer field?

# data[].attributes.body
You can study owl pellets to see what the owl has eaten.

# data[].attributes.body
How do owls make pellets?

# data[].attributes.body
Owls are a type of bird. There are different types of owls. Most of them are nocturnal.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what conditions have changed in the owl's habitat?

# data[].attributes.body
Owls are nocturnal hunters. Their pellets often include the bones of small animals that cannot be digested and get regurgitated in pellet form.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder when they use the field. Is the change in owl pellet proliferation the same elsewhere in the community or is it specific to this field?

# data[].attributes.body
Owls sleep during the day and are active at night. They eat small rodents.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if the owls left because they were no longer able to find food, water or shelter.
I also wonder if there has been construction in the area.

# data[].attributes.body
Owls use their sense of hearing to locate their prey. Their ears are not symmetrical.

# data[].attributes.body
Owls are able to hear prey, even when underneath snow. However, other birds, like a hawk, cannot. This is because owls have a better sense of hearing.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that barn owls can hear their prey under the snow. I also learned that barn owls do not have insects on their pellets.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that an owls hearing is 10 times more sensitive than a humans.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the video, it seems like owls are better at finding food using sound than hawks. The video showed both animals hovering to find food. However, only the owl was able to somehow hear where the mouse was. The snow was blocking the hawk & owl's view of the mouse, so this was a huge disadvantage for the hawk.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the video about the pellets, if there is a pellet that is about the size of your thumb, the owl ate 3-4 small animals and the evidence of that will be in the pellet.

Stiff feathers around the owls face help channel the sound up towards their ears.

Owls and hawks eat the same types of prey.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on my owl observations, owl's ears are not symmetrical, with one located lower than the other. This helps owls determine whether a sound is coming from below or not. Owls faces are also shaped like satellite dishes in order to tune in on the sound of their prey. Owls also swallow their prey whole and regurgitate their prey's bones and fur in the form of pellets.

# data[].attributes.headline
Based on the video owls have an advantage over other birds.  Their hearing allows them to find their prey even when they cannot see it.

# data[].attributes.body
There is no prey in the area for the owl to hunt, so they have had to go to a new location.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on my observations from the video, owls heads are specifically shaped like satellite dishes. Additionally, the ear that hears the sound first is important in determining where the prey is located.

# data[].attributes.body
The owls may have relocated due to the lack of prey and/or nesting areas.

Lately there has been a lack of pellets on the soccer field because there is an absence of prey, causing the owls to relocate.

# data[].attributes.body
Owls will hunt during the day and use their sense of hearing to find prey.  Since they're normally nocturnal hunters, they are practically hunting blind during the day.  They must rely solely on their keen sense of hearing to get their prey under the blanket of snow.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if the bones found in the pellets could be reconstructed to form most of the original mammal.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a lack of prey available along with a lack of places for the barn owls to live.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the book, "White Owl, Barn Owl" by Nicola Davies, it states that owls swallow their prey whole. This is why they need to regurgitate up a pellet that contains the hair and bones that the owl cannot digest.

# data[].attributes.body
Claim: The owl's source of food has diminished. There is nothing to eat at the soccer field location. Therefore, no pellets will be found there.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video of the owl regurgitating pellets, the owl stretched its neck/head up, then opened it beak and tipping its head forward, took approximately 10 seconds for a pellet to drop onto the ground in front of the owl. It repeated the process with the same time for a second, smaller pellet.

# data[].attributes.body
Owls seem to hunt with their sense of hearing.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned from the video that the feathers on the owl's face work like a satellite dish to collect and direct information. The asymmetrical bone structure underneath also appeared to help it pinpoint an exact location of its prey without needing to rely on visual cues, but only sound.

# data[].attributes.body
Owls compete with other birds of prey for the same food.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how long an owl will hunt in a territory that other birds of prey also use to find food.

# data[].attributes.body
The owls hearing is a more effective hunting tool than the other birds senses used.

# data[].attributes.body
According to the BBC video, "Super Powered Owls," some species of owls have one ear opening higher than the other. "This unique adaptation allows the owl to work out what height a sound is coming from as well as the direction."

1. Even chicks regurgitate
2. Owls have incredible hearing that can pick up minute sounds so that they can know exactly where their prey is
3. Their heads are designed to capture sound
4. The different placement of their ears allows them to hear sounds differently
5. They can locate prey even when it's out of sight

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what defenses these little prey have developed to protect themselves from owls.
Can an owl be born deaf? Has it ever happened?
Do other birds observe owls to help them find prey that they are not able to see or hear?

# data[].attributes.body
Owls have a ring of stiff feathers that help sound travel straight to their real ears. As sound enters, into each ear, they can detect where it is coming from. As such, they are able to locate where the prey is even if it's out of sight.

# data[].attributes.body
An owl and a hawk are looking for the same prey. Since the snow obstructs their vision of the prey, the hawk cannot spot it so he flies off but the owl can still track it down.
