About These Birds
Akun Eagle-owl
The Akun Eagle-owl is a large African owl with an impressive wingspan of about 63 cm and a weight near 538 g. It inhabits dense lowland rainforest in West and Central Africa, hunting at night for small mammals, birds, and large insects from concealed perches in the forest canopy.
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.
