Wednesday’s GUESS the ANIMAL PIC

 

Ghostly pale and strictly nocturnal, these are silent predators of the night world. Lanky, with a whitish face, chest, and belly, and buffy upperparts, this owl roosts in hidden, quiet places during the day. By night, they hunt on buoyant wingbeats in open fields and meadows. You can find them by listening for their eerie, raspy calls, quite unlike the hoots of other owls. Despite a worldwide distribution, they are declining in parts of their range due to habitat loss.
