Long-eared Owls Fly at Night

Release Date:

Nocturnal Long-eared Owls tuck up in dense stands of trees across North America and temperate Europe and Asia. They may form communal roosts up to a hundred in number in the winter. After dark, their low-pitched hoots carry for half a mile, as they cruise low over fields, listening intently for their rodent prey. In order to help boost dwindling numbers, wildlife advocates suggest preserving open, fallow fields.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
