Summary

[edit]
Description

This partially diurnal owl can be seen hunting over open fields, meadows, and marshes. This one is perched on a lookout post in McIntosh County, North Dakota. Surprisingly, this owl nests on the ground in grasslands. Unfortunately, its numbers are in decline due to loss of habitat and grassland conversion.
