Long-Eared Owl in a Snowy Mountain Forest

High on a snowy mountain slope, a long-eared owl rests on a tree stump among scattered pine cones. Spruce trees frame the cold landscape, while a distant mountain ridge and sweeping snow lines define the winter environment.

Interesting Habits of Long-Eared Owls

Long-eared owls derive their name from the prominent tufts of feathers on top of their head, which are feather displays used for communication. When threatened, these owls stretch their bodies vertically and flatten their feathers to resemble a broken tree branch. They prefer dense coniferous foliage like spruce and fir trees for roosting during cold winter months.

Questions and answers

Questions About Long-Eared Owls in Winter

Are the long tufts on top of the owl's head real ears?
No, those tufts are simply clusters of feathers used for body language and camouflage. Their actual ear openings are hidden under feathers on the sides of their head.
Where do long-eared owls roost during winter?
They often gather in small communal roosts inside dense evergreen trees, such as spruce or pine, to stay protected from wind and snow.
How do long-eared owls camouflage themselves from predators?
By perching close to tree trunks, raising their ear tufts, and narrowing their eyes, their patterned feathers blend seamlessly into tree bark.
