South Georgia around midnight until 2 ish I can hear a Great horned owl calling in the 1/2 acre behind my house. At 6:30 in the morning last week, I heard the call of a barn owl, chich I had never heard before in real life. When researching to teach my students about owls, we learned from Mystery Science that owls have a territory and call out to tell other owls to stay away from their "food." My question is, do these owls share the same territory and just hunt at different times, or could one be trespassing, possibly while the other is sleeping or hunting elsewhere?
