They consider whether all western and eastern warblers belong under one name while contrasting behaviors and habitats.
Three barn owls hatched at Milwaukee County Zoo were released in southeastern Wisconsin last weekend. Keeper Ken Kawata said the exact site is secret to protect the endangered birds. The owlets came from seven owls the zoo started with, including four adults from Abilene Texas. They were trained behind the aviary to catch live mice, a skill needed for wild survival. Barn owls once nested across southern Wisconsin but have largely vanished. the last verified nest was Green County in 1981. DNR officials cite unclear causes and encourage nest-box programs while noting habitat may not be a problem in southeastern Wisconsin. Barn owls are 13 to 18 inches tall with white faces and long legs, feeding mainly on rodents. The DNA asks for sightings with photos or audio, and carcasses should be reported for analysis.
