Great Horned Owls seek perches high up in densely needled conifers. Some owls take shelter in caves, like barn owls, Little Owls, and masked owls. The Spectacled Owl rests in the canopies of rainforests and gallery woods, where predators are few. Male Powerful Owls roost in high trees, sometimes atop their dead prey. Saw-whets will nestle in almost any kind of refuge, as long as it offers impenetrable protection—snarls of honeysuckle and dense groves of rhododendron or thickety pitch pine.
