Do owls mate for life?
“Some owls, such as Screech Owls, appear to be monogamous throughout life. However, the pair-bond relationship of other owl species may last for only one brood. Barn Owls raise multiple broods in a single year if there is an abundance of prey. They may pick different mates for each brood. Barn Owls may also have more than one brood if an early brood is lost to disease, malnutrition, predators, or catastrophic weather.” I found this article to be very interesting. Thanks for asking this question. http://carolina.com/owls/guide/reproduction.
