Nesting Season 2016
The Long-eared Owl, named after its prominent “ear” tufts, is a medium-sized owl and looks slimmer and more upright on the perch than the Great Horned Owl.

Usually silent, Long-eared Owls can be occasionally heard giving a deep singular “whooooo,” a haunting call that can be heard up to a kilometer away.

During the breeding season, pairs form and lay an average of 3-5 eggs. Born with white natal down, the baby owlets leave the nest about 21 days after hatching.
