Thanks from Owling.com

All of the sound files, videos and pictures are my personal recordings and photos unless otherwise stated. You can request to use these by sending me (Dan Lockshaw) an e-mail at permission@owling.com or by contacting the photographer that is noted with the photo. 

Owling.com is an ongoing and tremendous amount of work by many people. The owls are mostly out at night and often in remote areas. The photography, videoing, recording, building of this website, editing, production, information, time, energy… etc. has been possible with the efforts, encouragement, and help of many people. To just a few of the many that I can think of who have made this possible.
