Animal of the Day!
Mexican Striped Owl (Asio clamator)
(Photo by John van Dort)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Central America; Northern and Central South America
Size (Weight/Length)- 500 g; 35 cm
Diet- Small mammals; Insects; Reptiles; Amphibians; Small birds
Cool Facts- While the tufts on their heads might resemble ears or antenna, the feathers only add to the Mexican striped owl’s charisma. These owls have a massive range that spans the majority of Central and South America’s savannah. Despite living in the rainforest center of the world, the Mexican striped owl prefers open areas where hunting is easier. It is a common sight to spot these owls at dusk sitting on fence posts or utility wires while scanning a farmer’s field for rats. Like many species of true owl, the Mexican striped owl flies silently and uses their facial disc to pinpoint prey through noise rather than sight.
Rating- 12/10 (The owlest owl who ever owled.)

Animal of the Day!
American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis)
(Photo by Mason Maron)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- North America
Size (Weight/Length)- 20 g; 14 cm
Diet- Seeds; Insects
Cool Facts- The American goldfinch is one of the continent’s most recognizable songbirds. Known for their brilliant yellow plumage, American goldfinches almost exclusively eat seeds. This makes them a common sight for birdfeeders where they travel in small flocks. Often times, these smaller flocks will combine with other species of finches for safety in numbers. American goldfinch tend to lay eggs in late summer where the chicks hatch after only 12 days. The chicks leave the nest after only 15 days. Luckily, the American goldfinch is flourishing in the human world and its population is increasing.
Rating- 11/10 (A little, tweety bird.)
