Diet overview
Carnivore (primarily small to medium-sized mammals, birds, and occasionally large insects)
How it forages
A highly efficient nocturnal predator. It hunts by perching silently on a high branch, scanning the forest floor and canopy with its acute hearing and vision. Once prey is detected, it launches into a silent, swift flight, striking with powerful talons. Its diet includes voles, mice, shrews, rabbits, squirrels, and various bird species. Occasionally, it may take larger insects or amphibians.
When it feeds
Strictly nocturnal, with peak hunting activity occurring during the hours of dusk and dawn. Roosts silently during the day in dense foliage or tree cavities.
