About These Birds
Abyssinian Owl
아비시니아올빼미는 약 323g, 날개폭 67cm의 중간 크기 올빼미로 동아프리카 고지대에 서식합니다. 산악 숲과 황무지의 산악 서식지에서 소형 포유류와 새를 사냥합니다.
Snowy Owl
The snowy owl is the heaviest North American owl and one of the most charismatic Arctic birds. Unlike most owls, it is largely diurnal, necessitated by the continuous daylight of Arctic summers. Snowy owl irruptions — periodic mass southward movements — are tied to lemming population cycles.
