<br/><br/> The long eared owl and short eared owl are indistinguishable by bone morphology alone. Since they inhabit contrasting ecological situations identifications of their bones from prehistoric sites is important for paleoenvironmental interpretatons. Meassurements on long bones of modern specimens indicate these species can be identified by bone size. Tables are presented for use by the analyst in identifying complete or fragmentary wing and leg bones.
