アメリカ内務省さんのインスタグラム写真 - (アメリカ内務省Instagram)「Flying over grasslands and open country with their large wings, short-eared owls are striking with their bright, black-rimmed yellow eyes and streaked feathers. Their ear tufts are inconspicuous until the owls become defensive or curious. Mostly active near dawn and dusk, these remarkable owls glide close to the ground and look for their meal of choice – meadow rodents. When prey is abundant, short-eared owls will hunt and roost communally, often on the ground in dense vegetation or in trees during the winter.
