About These Birds
Arabian Eagle-owl
아라비아수리올빼미는 아라비아반도 고유의 큰 올빼미로, 다른 수리올빼미와 함께 Strigidae과에 속합니다. 바위 사막 지형, 와디, 절벽에 서식하며 어둠 속에서 포유류와 새를 사냥합니다. 이 종은 해당 지역의 혹독한 건조 환경에 적응한 점에서 관련 수리올빼미와 구별됩니다.
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.
