Short-eared Owl vs Grey ghost (male Northern Harrier)

 

Owls and harriers rely on hearing and vision when hunting. With their disc-shaped face directing sound to their ears, they are able to locate prey with hearing alone. Harriers and many owls can be observed gliding low over open country. Sometimes hovering for a brief moment, they may look and listen for prey moving in the vegetation below. When a potential meal is spotted or heard they will drop down, talons extended, to seize the prey.
