Our Endangered Friends 1 – Northern Spotted Owl

This shy and elusive bird has lived for hundreds of years in the ‘old growth’ forests off the Pacific coast. But these ancient forests that are its only home are slowly but surely dwindling. Extensive logging over the last 150 years is the main reason for the Northern spotted owl making it to the endangered species list. This Earth Day coloring worksheet for young children is our way of raising awareness about animals and birds that are in grave danger of dying out due to man’s cruelty and greed.
