About These Birds
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
The Eurasian eagle-owl is one of the largest owl species in the world, with females sometimes reaching a wingspan of nearly two meters. Its deep booming call can be heard up to four kilometers away on calm nights. These apex predators sit at the top of the avian food chain, preying on other raptors including buzzards and smaller owls.
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.
