Short-eared owl

Asio flammeus galapagoensis

Description:

Two of five short-eared owls seen on July 22, 2013. The second owl is feeding on a Galapagos storm petrel.

Notes:

The short-eared owls on Genovesa are active during the day time - an option available to them due to the absence on this island of the Galapagos hawk.
