SWAMP
OWL
The
marshlands and pine woods and the so called pine swamp in
the
Blackwater Refuge of Dorchester County Maryland are where our
community
of Swamp Owl's live, also known as a barred owl, along with
it's
counterpart , the great horned owl.
Both
species of these owl's are nocturnal equivalent of hawks.
The
Barred Owl and the red shouldered hawk are friendly species, their
haunts
and food habits are similar and use the same nesting areas.
There
have
been times when both owl eggs and hawks eggs have been found in
each
others nest.
The
swamp owl eats cratfish, woodcock, blue jays, moles and fish.
Fox
squirrels have been taken by Swamp Owl's.
A
barred owl and a red tail hawk are the same size
