Where are barn owls found during the summer?

Owls are nocturnal animals, which means that they are most active during the night. Being birds capable of flight, they choose to live in large holes within trees and sometimes rock crevasses. This provides them with ample protection from the elements. Most owls prefer to live in trees, however deforestation is slowly eating away at the available habitat. Good news for the owls though, they are the least concern on the extinction chart.

Not all owls are nocturnal, most owls do hunt at night to avoid competition with other Birds of Prey. However some species such as burrowing owls and short-eared owls feed during the day. Pygmy owls feed at dusk or dawn. Each species have adapted to avoid competition for food.
