Long-Eared Owl at the Edge of a Sunflower Field

Positioned at the border of a sunny agricultural field, a long-eared owl sits perched atop a rustic wooden fence. The surrounding farm landscape features tall blooming sunflowers, a woven basket, a bound sheaf of wheat, neatly plowed soil furrows, and a traditional barn visible in the countryside distance.

The Life of Long-Eared Owls on Farmland

Long-eared owls are famous for the long, erect feather tufts on top of their heads, which look like ears but are actually used for expression and camouflage. These birds prefer open farmland, meadow edges, and field borders where they can hunt field mice while resting secretly in nearby trees or fence lines.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Are the "ears" on a long-eared owl actual ears?
No, the tufts atop their heads are just special feathers. Their real ears are hidden lower on the sides of their head beneath their soft facial feathers.
Why do sunflowers turn toward the sun?
Young sunflowers exhibit heliotropism, meaning their flower heads track the movement of the sun from east to west throughout the day to maximize sunlight.
How do long-eared owls protect themselves from predators?
When threatened, a long-eared owl stretches its body upright and compresses its feathers to look like a thin, broken tree branch, blending seamlessly into its surroundings.
