Wildlife biologists with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources are seeking assistance from the public in locating barn owl nesting sites. Barn owls have distinctive heart-shaped faces and dark eyes, were plentiful in Kentucky in the late 1960s, but recently only 75 nesting locations have been documented. Barn owls nest year-round in Kentucky, but most common from March through August. If you locate a nest, do not disturb it to avoid attracting attention. Anyone with information about the location of a barn owl nest or a dead barn owl should contact Wildlife Biologist Kate Slankard at 1-800-858-1549. She can also be reached by email at kate.slankard@ky.gov.
