Portrait of an Eagle Owl

Eagle owls are the second largest owls and can be identified by their size, ear tufts and yellow eyes. The ear tufts are mor upright on the males than those of the females.

The Eagle Owl mainly feeds on small mammals such as mice, rats and hares, but they have been known to prey on foxes and young deer and can be successful if they have the element of surprise.
