<p>We’re back with Dr. R.J. “Rocky” Gutiérrez to answer listeners’ questions on owls. How much wisdom lies behind those big, immovable eyes? Are owls good or bad omens? What’s their proclivity for snatching hats? Is The Staircase owl theory plausible? Is it ok to hoot back at them? What do you mean one of their toes is reversible? This episode’s got the answers, plus info on owl migration, conservation, burrowing, disco dancing, and more.</p><p>Follow Dr. Gutiérrez on <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=l2B2iLsAAAAJ&hl=en" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a></p><p>Donations went to the <a href="https://www.internationalowlcenter.org/" target="_blank">International Owl Center</a> and <a href="https://www.yournec.org/" target="_blank">Northcoast Environmental Center</a></p><p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/strigiformology">More episode sources and links</a></p><p>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/2017/11/7/ornithology-with-ja...
