Long-eared Owl
Asio otus
ID Notes 3
The Long-eared Owl, Asio otus, is less common in Western NY than the Great Horned or Barred Owl. it is most commonly confused with the Great Horned Owl, due to the presence of large ear tufts and yellow eyes. The Long-eared Owl's ear tufts are longer than those of a Great Horned Owl, and the owl's body is slender compared with the bulkier form of the Great Horned Owl. In addition, the orange facial discs span farther up and down the face on the Long-eared Owl than the Great Horned Owl. This species is rarely observed on our cameras.
