对这只尖叫猫头鹰来说，每天都是小睡的日子(Every day is Napping Day for this screech owl)

在美国，我们想不出比和这只毛茸茸的猫头鹰一起庆祝全国午睡日更好的方式了。这只猫头鹰睡在纽约长岛的马萨佩卡保护区的树干上。发现于荒野地区和附近的人类住区从大西洋海岸到西得克萨斯州和蒙大拿州，像这一个东部尖叫猫头鹰是建立在美国。它们是夜间活动的动物，所以白天睡觉，黄昏后活动。但不要担心你或你的宠物会被这些猫头鹰攻击。虽然从这张照片上看不出这一点，但尖叫猫头鹰体型很小，比一品脱玻璃杯还小，它们更喜欢吃昆虫、蠕虫和小啮齿动物。

We can think of no better way to celebrate National Napping Day (in the US) than with this furry fellow, a screech owl asleep in a tree trunk in the Massapequa Preserve on Long Island, New York. Found in wilderness areas and near human settlements from the Atlantic seaboard to west Texas and up into Montana, Eastern screech owls like this one are well established in the US. They're nocturnal creatures, so they sleep during the day and become active after dusk. But don’t worry about you or your pet getting attacked by these owls. While it’s not apparent from this picture, screech owls are tiny – smaller than a pint glass – and prefer to feast on insects, worms, and small rodents.
