Short-eared Owl
The Short-eared Owl of Bosnia and Hercegovina has been studied since 1977. In the country, the owl is most common in karst poljes. The population is thought to number in the hundreds of thousands. In recent years, however, there have been fewer sightings of this species. In the past decade, there have been at least three records of sightings in the country.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Short-eared Owl has been declared a national bird since 2001. It is a mid-sized owl that hunts voles during the day. Although it is relatively common during the day, its best time to see it is during dusk and dawn. During the day, you’ll find them in meadows, fields, and airports.
The breeding season lasts until late April. Short-eared owls nest on the ground. Its eggs are small and non-glossy, and are oval in shape. The female tends the young while the male brings food. Young owls do not fly until ten days after hatching. This species is threatened by the loss of inland wetlands in the region.
The Short-eared Owl of Bosnia and Hercegovina is also threatened in its native habitat. While there are several species in the region, this one is rarer in the country. They live in abandoned barns. Farmers also appreciate the birds because they keep the surrounding land free of rodents. Their unique screechy sound is reminiscent of hawks, and males will clap their wings to attract females.
The population of the Short-eared Owl in Bosnia and Herzegovina is very small. This species breeds only locally, with only five pairs recorded for the 1985-1992 period. It is believed to be an endangered species, but the raptors of this country continue to breed in the area. A preliminary estimate suggests that the population of the Short-eared Owl is about fifty-five thousand individuals.
Other animals that thrive in Bosnia and Herzegovina are the gray wolf and the Eurasian lynx, both of which are endangered. While these two species are not as dangerous as the brown bear, they are notorious for killing humans and other animals for food. This country has also avoided the rapid extinction of wildlife as many other countries in Europe have. However, the loss of habitat has put several species in danger.
Ural Owl
The Ural Owl is a common nocturnal bird in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its range extends from the westernmost corner of Serbia to eastern Croatia. The owl also occurs in central Romania and west-central Bulgaria. It is rare in northern and southern Sweden, but can be found in the southeastern region of Norway. Its breeding season is from late March to early June.
The owl is found in forests preserved from human activity, and it is usually absent from urban environments. However, in urban areas, the owls feed on mice and rats and are aggressive towards younger individuals. The team conducting the research hopes to use this information to develop better protection measures for the species. This will enable the team to provide better quality data for decision makers in nature protection and forestry.
The Ural Owl has been introduced to other countries. It has been reintroduced in the Bohemian Forest, which extends between Bavaria in Germany and the Czech Republic. This species was extinct in these areas by 1926, but was recently reintroduced in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ural Owl is currently one of only three owl species found in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
