Short-Eared Owl on a Lake Lookout Tower
The illustration depicts a short-eared owl perched on the railing of a wooden observation tower. Positioned next to a brass telescope and access ladder, the tower overlooks a calm lake environment.
Hunting Habits of the Short-Eared Owl
Unlike most owls that hunt exclusively at night, short-eared owls are active during daylight and twilight hours. They search for small mammals by flying low over open marshes, meadows, and lake shorelines. Their tufts of feathers are quite short and often remain hidden unless the bird feels defensive.
