Abstract:

Food habits of Long-eared Owls (Asia otus) have been investigated both for nesting pairs of owls and nonnesting birds. In addition, communal winter roosting of this species has been documented. However, we have not found literature references to communal summer roosts of Long-eared Owls. This paper reports on a large communal roost of Long-eared Owls in the summer of 1982 and describes the food habits of the owls as determined from castings found at the roost.
