Dear $$firstname$$

A couple years back, we got a call at the office from a neighbor asking if we wanted to come see the great-horned owl nest in their yard. We were there the next afternoon.

I crouched near a tree with a trio of Birds & Blooms staff as we trained our binoculars on the owl’s nest. After only 15 minutes of waiting, a huge owl came swooping out of the nest, gliding past the trees on outstretched wings. 

Seeing a great-horned owl soar is an amazing bird-watching experience. And the silent way they do it is one of the many attributes that make owls so special. 

If you’re a subscriber to Birds & Blooms EXTRA, you’ll soon see why I have owls on the mind. We have some special owl features in the March issue. See below for more great features related to that issue. Even if you’re not an EXTRA subscriber, we still have some great bonus material to share with you this month. Build a Fairy Tale Birdhouse, get easy tips on Spring Cleaning for Birds and enjoy some great Spring Poetry from readers.
