Description
The Short-eared owls are a medium-sized owl, often about 30-40 cm (one foot) long with a wingspan close to one meter (three feet). They are most easily identified by their large cream-coloured facial disk, yellow eyes, moth-like flight, and light-coloured body with dark wing tips. The Short-Eared Owls will often congregate in areas where there is abundant prey, such voles, often in open habitats. Short-eared Owls are specialized vole hunters. Perhaps their most unique feature, however, is that they emit a barking sound when annoyed or to express territoriality.
