A Secretive Raptor Up Close
The long-eared owl (Asio otus) is renowned for its extraordinary stealth, favoring thick riparian tangles where its streaked plumage renders it nearly invisible. This roost cam grants a rare, unhurried view of the family as they rest and preen among the branches.
The Riparian Habitat
The camera overlooks a lush corridor of willows, shrubs and fallen limbs typical of the wetlands around Missoula, Montana. This tangled cover provides the shelter and vantage that these owls depend on for daytime rest.
In Partnership with the Owl Research Institute
Streamed alongside the Owl Research Institute, the feed supports long-term study of owl behavior, breeding and conservation across the northern Rockies, letting viewers everywhere share in the science.
Why Watch
Few cameras reveal a long-eared owl so intimately. Each visit is a lesson in patience and camouflage, an invitation to slow down and notice the subtle movements of a rarely-seen woodland hunter.
