Layered shelter
Trees offer cover and nesting cavities. Leaving standing dead wood where safe can preserve valuable habitat.
From woodland to open sky
Owls occupy habitats as different as old forests, farmland, deserts and Arctic tundra. A hollow tree, rocky ledge or burrow may serve as a nesting place, depending on the species.
Open hunting
Meadows and fields support small mammals and give hunting owls room to scan the ground.
Wide horizons
Snowy owls nest on the ground in open tundra, where visibility stretches across the landscape.
