Barn Owl

Description

In this podcast, Kristen *usually* tells Maeve facts about a bird a week. This week, join Kristen and Maeve with a special guest this week as they discuss the ghostly Barn Owl, a beautiful bird with impressive adaptations that allow it to hunt in total darkness and fly without making a sound. Escape into nature and away from your daily life--and learn a thing or two along the way.
