  • Short-eared owl (Asio flammeus galapagoensis) with strom petrel prey.<br />
Tower Island (Genovesa Island)<br />
Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
ENDEMIC TO GALAPAGOS<br />
One of three raptors found in the islands. This owl is diurnal and most commonly seen hunting in the Storm petrel colony on Tower Island. It hunts on foot, waiting at the entrance to the storm petrels burrows. When it hears a bird inside it lunges its legs and claws inside the burrow to catch its prey. It is a large owl of up to 43 cm in length and nests in thick bushes on the ground. It is found where there are no Galapagos hawks so has no competition for food.

  • Striated Caracara or Johnny Rook (Phalcoboenus australis)<br />
West Point Island. Off of West Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
Usually quite tame and very curious towards man. Rarely take prey on the wing using instead its ability to run and grasp penguin chicks and eggs and small petrels with its powerful feet and claws. Also feed on insects, molluscs and carrion. Can survive during critical winter periods on excreta of Gentoo penguins and fur seals.  They nest on cliff edges, under large rock slabs or on the top of a tussock grass clump, often close to the seabird colonies on which they prey.<br />
RANGE: Falkland Islands where it is largely restricted to offshore tussock islands like Jason Island group, Beauchene and Sea Lion Island, Islets of Cape Horn and some islands off the south west coast of Chile as far north as Isla Tarlton.<br />
NEAR THREATENED due to small population and restricted range.<br />
Less than 1000 birds exist.

  • Striated Caracara or Johnny Rook (Phalcoboenus australis)<br />
Steeple Jason Island looking east to west. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
Usually quite tame and very curious towards man. Rarely take prey on the wing using instead its ability to run and grasp penguin chicks and eggs and small petrels with its powerful feet and claws. Also feed on insects, molluscs and carrion. Can survive during critical winter periods on excreta of Gentoo penguins and fur seals.  They nest on cliff edges, under large rock slabs or on the top of a tussock grass clump, often close to the seabird colonies on which they prey.<br />
RANGE: Falkland Islands where it is largely restricted to offshore tussock islands like Jason Island group, Beauchene and Sea Lion Island, Islets of Cape Horn and some islands off the south west coast of Chile as far north as Isla Tarlton.<br />
NEAR THREATENED due to small population and restricted range.<br />
