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.
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.
