From the supplier: The first published records of the US and Canadian nests of the Long-eared Owl, Asio otus, found in the ground is described. The US nest consisted of cups with an earthen surface and surrounded by a ring of cut grass. It was located under a bush and surrounded by tall grasses. Nestlings dispersed from the nest and branched to nearby trees within two to three weeks of age. The Canadian nest was found on a raised hummock under rose bushes and surrounded by tall vegetation. Nestlings also dispersed from the nest within weeks after incubation.
