During the day it will perch and wait patiently to pinpoint and
identify it's prey. After the prey is identified the owl will silently
and quickly snatch it up with it's talons. They can do this
because of soft plumage on their wings allowing silent flight. It
will use it's sharp curved beak to break the prey's neck and eat it.
When this owl hunts at night it uses it's hearing to pinpoint it's
prey. Also the expanding pupils help with eyesight. This owl
will eat lemmings, all rodents, birds, and fish. Sometimes they
will catch a hare almost as big an themselves! Using their
exceptional hearing they can even locate mice under the snow!
