Ontario Grasslands Hunt

Short-eared Owl hunting low over Ontario grasslands. Unlike many owls that perch and wait, short-eared owls fly low and slow, listening for movement beneath winter grasses. These open fields aren’t just empty space, they’re critical hunting habitat, and we need them now more than ever! Grasslands may look quiet in February, but they’re full of life. 🌱 A simple way to help? Avoid using rodenticides, they can harm owls and other wildlife that naturally control rodents. Protecting their habitat and avoiding toxins go hand in hand for a healthier ecosystem
