Episode 89 Owl Moon
Episode 90
Wednesday, 1 April, 2026

In today’s episode we answer the questions, “How do owls fly so quietly? What do owls eat and what happens to the parts they cannot digest? Can I have a pet owl?” and “Why can we see the moon in the daytime?” We hear some D&D trivia from Librarian Tabby and Jill recommends a chapter book about kids protecting owls. To submit your own question, go to KDL.org/Stump. We can’t wait to hear from you!   Jill’s book recommendation: Hoot by Carl Hiaasen  https://kdl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S174C206833 Concerning owls: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/owl  "owl." Britannica School, Encyclopædia Britannica, 16 Dec. 2025. school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/owl/332197#main-ada.
