About These Birds
Uhu
Der Uhu gehört zu den größten Eulenarten der Welt; Weibchen erreichen mitunter eine Flügelspannweite von fast zwei Metern. Sein tiefer, dröhnender Ruf ist in ruhigen Nächten bis zu vier Kilometer weit zu hören. Als Spitzenprädator steht der Uhu an der Spitze der Nahrungskette unter den Vögeln und erbeutet auch andere Greifvögel wie Bussarde und kleinere Eulen.
Baja Pygmy-owl
The Baja Pygmy-owl is a small owl endemic to the mountains of Baja California Sur, Mexico, weighing about 57.5g with a wingspan of 17.7cm. Like other pygmy-owls it is often active during daylight hours and hunts small birds, lizards, and insects. Its restricted mountain range makes it sensitive to habitat disturbance.
