About These Birds
Albertine Owlet
The Albertine Owlet is a small, near-threatened owl weighing about 73 g with a wingspan of 26 cm. Endemic to the montane forests of the Albertine Rift in Central Africa, it is rarely observed and its habits are poorly known due to its remote and dense forest habitat.
Virginia-Uhu
Der Virginia-Uhu ist die kraftvollste und am weitesten verbreitete Eule Amerikas und trägt daher den Beinamen Tiger des Himmels. Er zählt zu den frühesten Brutvögeln und legt seine Eier oft schon im Januar, wenn noch Schnee liegt. Der Virginia-Uhu ist ein gefürchteter Jäger, der regelmäßig Beute erlegt, die bis zu dreimal so schwer ist wie er selbst.
