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.
Arabian Scops-owl
The Arabian Scops-owl is a small nocturnal owl from the Arabian Peninsula, weighing about 66.5 grams with a wingspan near 25 cm. It inhabits rocky wadis, date palm groves, and dry woodland, where it hunts insects and small vertebrates at night. Its cryptic streaked plumage makes it nearly invisible when roosting against tree bark or rocky surfaces during the day.
