I am the only native owl in Hawai'i (the common barn owl was introduced in the 1950's as rodent control). Most active at dawn and at dusk (and sometimes, at mid-day), I have large eyes that allow them to hunt in dim light. In fact, the eyes of owls are so large, relative to their heads, that I can't look from side to side; that's why owls have such flexible necks.
Soft, specialized feathers help me to hunt in silence. Besides rodents, I also eat insects and rarely, birds in open, grassy fields and dry forests.
