Pair of Ural owls in Hokkaido, Japan
When the sun sets, these Ural owls will wake up, shake off the snow, and head out to hunt rodents, insects, and even small game birds. You’ll find Ural owls across northern Asia, Russia, and Europe. Perhaps these two in Hokkaido, Japan, are a little groggy thanks to the noise of celebration as nearby humans welcomed the new year.
