Short-eared Owls

This medium sized owl is often seen as it hunts over wetlands and fields, across North America. Despite their large range they are under increasing pressure from the development of wetland and grassland habitats. Their long wings allow them to hunt from low altitude and quickly pounce on unsuspecting prey. During the day they will often roost on the ground, hidden amongst the tall grasses.
