markfoot 3年前 Lol, 04.10 when the short-eared owl lands on the fence and the people in the car stop. Binoculairs emmerge out of nowhere :D That's what we called "birders", LoL

Could have done with more sounds and calls as the chances of ever seeing these owls in the wild are virtually zero. The most common way to know of the presence of an owl is to hear them after dark or just before dawn.

Does the long-eared owl make another sound, like a very sharp call? We leave at the edge of a mountain town, and behind us there are some fir trees. We are lucky to host a family of long eared owls. I think those are the females that make that sharp almost like a barn owl sound. In our language, they are named ”ciuf de pădure”, which means a disheveled/ruffled from forest. The short-eared are named ”ciuf de câmp”, which means a disheveled/ruffled from field.

Cute birds. Thank you, very informative. I thought only two species made the hoot sound, american great horned owls and eagle owls found in europe and the Asian countries tried to africa. Each has a distinctive and obvious hoot. The long eared has his own unique sound, so I guess there are now 3 owls that hoot. Oddly enough they're similar in that they're all ' horned' owls with similar colouring with the long eared having the squarest shape of adorable face!

One master of the kohl!

Beautiful

well done!

Both short eared and long eared owls, are medium-sized birds with the same body size as a Barn Owl and both of them with significant longer wings

The simplest and most reliable way to distinguish long-eared owls and short-eared owls is that long-eared owls tend to have decidedly long ears, while short-eared owls have rather shorter ears.

I thought this video was about physically separating them! I was thinking crikey, you mean they fight or get too close in the wild?🧐

Long-eared Owls look more like Great Horned owls.

female short eared owls does strange barking sound males give a deep REPETED hoot and display flight in the breeding season

the males and females calls from both species are different

I know long eared owl are common in Ireland

male long eared owl does a deep hooting call females are HIGHTER PICHED

poor effort 3/10
