About These Birds
Barred Eagle-owl
The Barred Eagle-owl is a Near Threatened large owl of the family Strigidae found in primary and tall secondary forests of Southeast Asia, including Sumatra, Borneo, and the Malay Peninsula. Weighing about 1,113g with a wingspan of 66.4cm, it has distinctive horizontal barring and prominent ear tufts. It hunts at night, taking large insects, small mammals, and birds.
Schnee-Eule
Die Schnee-Eule ist die schwerste Eule Nordamerikas und einer der charismatischsten Vögel der Arktis. Anders als die meisten Eulen ist sie größtenteils tagaktiv – bedingt durch das durchgehende Tageslicht der arktischen Sommer. Periodische Masseneinflüge der Schnee-Eule nach Süden hängen mit den Populationszyklen der Lemminge zusammen.
