Abstract

Abstract Ural Owls Strix uralensis often use nest boxes, but there have been few reports of them using other man-made structures. We discovered a Ural Owl nest on a steel tower in a suburban area in Ibaraki Prefecture, central Japan, in May 2019. The nest had been built in a jointed part of the steel frame that supported the body of the tower, which was approximately 10 m-high. In this case, a neighboring shelterbelt seemed to provide the owls with leaf litter for the nest floor and hiding places for the parents and their fledglings.

乌拉尔猫头鹰在钢塔上筑巢的首个记录

乌拉尔猫头鹰(Strix uralensis)经常使用巢箱筑巢，但使用其他人工结构的报道很少。2019年5月，我们在日本中部茨城县郊区的一座铁塔上发现了一个乌拉尔猫头鹰的巢穴。鸟巢建在支撑塔体的钢框架的接合部分，大约10米高。在这种情况下，邻近的防护林似乎为猫头鹰提供了巢穴地板上的落叶，以及父母和雏鸟的藏身之处。
