Western Screech Owl by Richard Sloan

Each limited-edition print is hand signed and numbered by the artist.

This common owl incubates each egg as it is laid. Thus, the eggs hatch in sequence and the young within a brood vary widely in size and age. This allows the parents to raise all their young if food is plentiful, or only the first few if food is scarce. This pattern is widespread among owls and birds of prey that feed on mice and meadow moles, whose populations fluctuate widely.
