These two cannot be distinguished from one another except by behavior. Sandhill cranes are large wading birds with long legs, necks, and bills. Nests are usually found in the shallow water areas of the swamp, the prairies. An owl is a bird of prey. Because owls have binocular vision, this makes them very efficient predators.
Most owls are active at dusk or at night.
Their hearing is also well developed, in order to pinpoint the direction and distance of a sound in twilight or darkness when prey is barely visible. The most common one seen would be the Barred Owl. These large birds are native to North America, standing 3.3 feet tall with long legs, decurved bills, and a wingspread of up to 5 feet. They are white, with black borders on wings and a short, black tail. Their gray-colored neck and head is not feathered.
