The population of Barn Owls has been impacted across the state by the loss of nesting habitat. Since the 1980s, the Indiana DNR has installed more than 300 nesting boxes in suitable Barn Owl habitat, offering alternative nesting sites. During this 30-min presentation, Grace LeCuyer, the Indiana DNR's Raptor Survey Coordinator, will discuss the results of the 2022 statewide Barn Owl nest box surveys – and share fun facts about these amazing raptors.
