When seen hunting over a meadow, barn owls have an ethereal grace
and beauty that can be matched by no other bird. The barn owl has
an almost global distribution and has lived in close proximity to
humans since settlement and farming created the forest clearings
needed for hunting and places in which to nest. However, in many
countries, barn owl numbers are falling rapidly. This book explores
the relationships between barn owls and their prey worldwide, and
demonstrates how an understanding of such relationships can help in
the conservation of the species. In this comprehensive account,
Iain Taylor describes the biology and ecology of this species,
including the factors affecting breeding success, and causes of
mortality affecting the final recruitment of new birds into the
population. He concludes by suggesting ways in which we can manage
and conserve this beautiful bird for the future.
