About this episode
Jennifer Ackerman (What an Owl Knows, The Genius of Birds, The Bird Way) award-winning science writer, speaker, and the New York Times bestselling author. Jennifer joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why people like to work with large birds, how owls hunt, and how polarizing owls are across cultures. Jennifer and Dax talk about how owls have been a source of artistic inspiration, how not all owls are nocturnal, and what we can learn from the silent flight of owls for technological advances. Jennifer explains how some owl babies can mimic sounds to protect themselves, that some owls live in colonies, and the benefits of owls to farmers.
