Panoramica della dieta

Carnivore, primarily preying on lemmings, but also other small mammals and birds

Come cerca cibo

Primarily a diurnal hunter, unlike most owls, especially during the continuous daylight of the Arctic summer. They hunt from a perch or in low flight, swooping down to catch prey. Lemmings are their primary food source, and their breeding success and winter movements are strongly tied to lemming population cycles. They also prey on voles, hares, ptarmigan, ducks, and other small to medium-sized birds and mammals.

Quando si nutre

Primarily diurnal, especially during the Arctic summer's 24-hour daylight. They can also hunt at dawn and dusk, and occasionally at night.
