We often hear their voices calling across the night air. The soft “hoo” of the Great Horned Owl, the familiar “who cooks for you?” of the Barred Owl or the trilling whinny of the Eastern Screech Owl, all share our yards, trees and gardens, although the largely nocturnal birds are more often heard than seen. With over 200 species found worldwide and 19 in the U.S., they are out there in the darkness and a functioning part of the ecosystem.

But what have they done for you lately?

Anyone who has ever shelled out a few dollars for a “decoy” owl to place on their home or near the garden will tell you, owls strike fear in the hearts of rodents, skunks, rabbits and smaller birds likely to feast on plants, roots, fruit and cultivated nuts. Although potential prey are usually quick to catch on to the decoy ruse, rendering it ineffective, the premise is sound. Owls are aggressive carnivores, snapping up these garden pests and disappearing before the break of dawn. For those with smaller outdoor pets, the presence of such a vicious predator may not be so welcome. Although tales of dogs being swept away are often exaggerated, the danger is not unprecedented and for those who keep chickens, attacks from larger breeds like the Great Horned are a legitimate concern. In my own yard, a recent owl attack left one of my flock shaken, but intact. The concern is compounded in that once an owl has successfully found a source of prey, it will return until the food source is depleted. Owls can be troublesome for some, but if outdoor pets or chickens aren’t part of your backyard life, attracting owls to the yard can help reduce a pest population often hard to manage without resorting to drastic means. Over a single season, an owl will devour hundreds of garden-munching rodents and other pests. Offering them a hospitable habitat can be managed with minimal expense.
