These birds wait on perches to swoop down on unsuspecting prey; they may also catch insects in flight. I see them all the time early in the morning on fence posts and telephone poles. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, and birds, and large insects. They are active at night or near dusk, using their excellent hearing and night vision to locate prey. We hear them every night as they screech in excitement when they find their prey.
