Little owl

Description:

The little owl is a small owl, usually 22 centimetres (8.7 in) tall with a wingspan of 56 centimetres (22 in) for both sexes, and weighs about 180 grams (6.3 oz).[3] The adult little owl of the most widespread form, the nominate A. n. noctua, is white-speckled brown above, and brown-streaked white below. It has a large head, long legs, and yellow eyes, and its white “eyebrows” give it a stern expression. This species has a bounding flight like a woodpecker. Juveniles are duller, and lack the adult's white crown spots. The call is a querulous kee-ik.

Habitat:

The Little Owl preferred habitat open, rich structured terrain with a wide range of breeding caves days Hide and Seat Waiting and a year-round low short vegetation. This habitat requirements are met by a variety of natural and man-made landscapes of heavily landscaped.
