ere are “tons” of feathered
predators at the preserves,
according to Barnhart.

Considered “scarce” in the
Hudson Valley, the barred owl is
the most commonly seen in the
area.

Its call “Who cooks for you?
Who cooks for you?” is a classic
sound in treed swamps and old
forests.

Camou age is provided by
its mottled brown and white
feathers.

Next comes the great
horned owl,with its intimidating
yellow stare and deep hooting
call, and then the Northern
saw-whet, a tiny  owl  with a
catlike face.

While “pretty tolerant” of
developed areas, the birds are
still vulnerable to “habitat
fragmentation,” says Barnhart.

It doesn’t take a lot of e ort
to protect them. Just take your
trash with you when you leave.

In other words, give a hoot.
