Other hawks take birds only occasionally. The Great Horned Owl is the chief killer of birds among his tribe. He is a particular enemy of the Ruffed Grouse and when numerous may be a terrific marauder. He is not usually abundant however. The Screech Owl sometimes kills smaller birds but this habit is largely restricted to the nesting season and is not serious otherwise. The other owls which occur commonly in Pennsylvania are not to be considered harmful. The Barn, Long-eared, Short-eared, and Saw-whet Owls may be rated as beneficial birds. The big Barred Owl is variable in food habits, and sometimes does damage. * â v . S .. ^'< f *â M J^.
