I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for owls. Wander through my front door and glance upwards and you’ll find at least two watching you, a Tawny Owl and a Barn Owl , both sadly gathered as roadkills. Above our fireplace is a large painting of a Barn Owl.

But “Hawk”’s active ingredient, a deadly second-generation anticoagulant, bromadialone, has been implicated in the deaths of Red-tailed Hawks, Red-shouldered Hawks, Cooper’s Hawks, and other raptors : American Kestrels, Barn Owls, Golden Eagles, Great Horned Owls, and Turkey Vultures. And their pest control services are free.

I saw this at Bear River Migratory Refuge in Utah. This rookery also housed nesting Barn Owls (not the bird box on the lower half of the pole on the far right). I didn’t think they were as agile as a wood duck, but apparently they can. This is one of my favorite nesting ideas I’ve come across in my travels.
