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.
Black-capped Screech-owl
The Black-capped Screech-owl is a small, nocturnal owl of Atlantic Forest in southeastern South America, with distinctive ear tufts, a black-bordered facial disc, and cryptic brown-streaked plumage. It inhabits the forest understory and edges of humid forests in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. It feeds on large insects, small mammals, and other small vertebrates at night.
