Owl, Long-eared {Asia wilsoniamis) 



This bird is intermediate in size between the screech owl and 

 the great horned owl. Ear tufts are conspicuous. It is less 

 common than either in most parts of the State, living in dense 

 patches of evergreens. It is useful, killing many mice and night- 

 flying insects. 13-16
