Long-Eared Owl in the Moonlight
The long-eared owl is a secretive bird of prey known for the long head feathers that resemble ears. When perched high on a tree branch at night, this medium-sized owl remains motionless to blend seamlessly with surrounding bark. A crescent moon in the night sky highlights the quiet nocturnal habitat where these birds watch for small woodland rodents.
Fascinating Habits of Night Owls
Long-eared owls prefer dense coniferous forests where they can roost undisturbed during daylight hours. Unlike many other predatory birds, they often gather in communal roosts during cold winter months, sharing shelter among thick branches. Their exceptional hearing allows them to pinpoint moving prey even under complete darkness or buried beneath snow cover.
