(Pic 7) Barred Owl eats rat
Murderous Grace Of The Owl That Spotted a Rat
A rat's days were numbered when a keen-eyed owl spotted it scampering through the snow.
These stunning images show the murderous grace of a barred owl swooping down on its prey.
Wildlife photographer Mircea Costina captured the scene after patiently watching the owl in its natural habitat.
He explains: "I found this bird in the forest, north of Quebec City, Canada. After a couple of hours in his company, at -30 degrees Celsius, finally, the owl started hunting. It was such a spectacular show!
"He captured a huge rat right in front of me. After that, he swooped up to a tree-branch perch and devoured the whole prey.
"It was an unforgettable day in company of this great raptor."
The barred owl is a large typical owl native to North America, and is also known as an eight hooter or hoot owl based on its distinctive call which is a series of eight accented hoots ending in oo-aw.
An opportunistic predator, the principal prey of the owl are meadow voles, followed by mice and shrews of various species. Other mammals preyed upon include rats, squirrels, rabbits.
Prey is usually devoured on the spot. Larger prey is carried to a feeding perch and torn apart before eating.

LAZY DAY IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
It's not all ferocious fighting and clawing your way to the top of the food chain in the animal kingdom - even the wildest of beasts need to take a break sometimes.
Wildlife photographer Andy Rouse may have captured some exciting images in his time but this cute collection of dozing creatures is guaranteed to raise a smile.
Andy snapped these sleepy animals on some of his many nature expeditions around the world - capturing drowsy moments in Africa, Alaska, Antarctica, Falkland Islands, Canada, India, America and the UK.
The result is a heart-melting menagerie of bears on their backs, cheetahs curling up for a doze, gorillas taking five, penguins pausing for a rest, snoozing seals, tired tigers, and lions (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)

Hen harriers’ friend: gamekeeping turns conservation in Yorkshire. Grouse moors are not known for being friendly places for birds of prey – but the Swinton estate has a fresh attitude
The Druids’s plantation bird hide on the Swinton Estate, near Ripon in North Yorkshire. The Swinton Estate is procatively protecting wild Hen Harriers and encouraging the wild birds to breed and flourish on their estate, with Gamekeeper Gary Taylor employing various techniques to ensure they dont predate the red grouse. There is currently a Hen Harrier roost on the moorlands of the estate which is rare as most estates adopt a policy of persecuting wild birds to protect the grouse moors.The hen harrier is one of Britain’s most endangered birds because of illegal persecution. England has upland habitat suitable for more than 300 breeding pairs of hen harriers but in 2013 there were none. The raptors take red grouse and conservationists accuse the grouse moor industry of killing hen harriers. But the hen harrier’s prospects are brightening. This year, 24 successful hen harrier nests in England fledged 84 chicks, the highest number since records began in 2002. Nineteen of those nests were on grouse moors.

Gavin Craggs of Natural England on the look out for Hen Harriers in the Druids’s plantation bird hide on the Swinton Estate, near Ripon in North Yorkshire. The Swinton Estate is procatively protecting wild Hen Harriers and encouraging the wild birds to breed and flourish on their estate, with Gamekeeper Gary Taylor employing various techniques to ensure they dont predate the red grouse. There is currently a Hen Harrier roost on the moorlands of the estate which is rare as most estates adopt a policy of persecuting wild birds to protect the grouse moors.The hen harrier is one of Britain’s most endangered birds because of illegal persecution. England has upland habitat suitable for more than 300 breeding pairs of hen harriers but in 2013 there were none. The raptors take red grouse and conservationists accuse the grouse moor industry of killing hen harriers. But the hen harrier’s prospects are brightening. This year, 24 successful hen harrier nests in England fledged 84 chicks, the highest number since records began in 2002. Nineteen of those nests were on grouse moors.
