We also have what I think is a subspecies of great horned owl here in Alaska, (along with twelve other species of owls, not to mention the other myriad raptor species). The one here is our largest species i believe, truly massive.
For an owl to be poisoned my rat bait. It would have to been an illegal rodenticide or to eat its weight in rat bait. It would not dye by eating a mouse or a rat that ate some bait. Doesn't work like that. Years ago it did when stronger secondary type baits were legal.
There's one that occasionally hoots on a tree that's about 15 feet from a corner of the house here in rural Ventura County, California . Just saw it at dusk this evening sitting on a large boulder, silhouetted against the faintly lit sky about 150 feet away
🦜Why don’t you get to make suggestion and think about creating another RU-vid Videos all about the Facts Of Macaw Parrots on the next Animal Fact Files for the next few couple of days or for the next few couple of weeks coming up next?!🦜⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
