Not long ago Kasha Breau, a teacher-naturalist at our Center at Glastonbury, helped a fellow in East Haddam return two Barred Owl nestlings to the sugar maple in which their nest was located.

She also told him that if he watched the owlets, he’d see something fascinating: they’d lie on their stomachs on a limb and fall asleep.

Audubon Magazine and Bird Notes tell the rest of the story, which you can read here.
