These pellets are often collected by researchers to study the owlâs eating habits. Owls do not build their own nests, but use old hawk nests, natural cavities, buildings or human constructed boxes. Female owls are generally 25% larger than males. There are eight types of owls that are found in Illinois. The Short-Eared Owl, the Long-Eared Owl and the Common Barn Owl are on the Endangered Species List and it is illegal to possess any part of these 3 creatures. The Northern Saw-Whet Owl and the Snowy Owl are uncommon to the State.
Given their small size and the cold climate, these little raptors must eat enormous quantities of food to keep their metabolisms burning. Northern saw-whet owls (Aegolius acadicus) also inhabit the periphery of the taiga. Instead of birds, saw-whet owls primarily prey on deer mice (Peromyscus ssp.) and other rodents. Some large species, such as snowy owls (Bubo scandiacus), also temporarily inhabit the taiga. Living there in the winter, some snowy owls migrate north in the summer and will travel great distances to find prey. More agile than other large owls, snowy owls can capture birds as large as geese when rodents are scarce.
