Pueo (Hawaiian Short-Eared Owl)

The pueo (Asio flammeus sandwichensis) is a diurnal owl that thrives in open landscapes, hunting for small mammals, birds, and insects. Unlike most owls, it is active during the day, often seen soaring gracefully over fields and grasslands. In Hawaiian culture, the pueo is considered an ʻaumakua (spiritual guardian) and holds deep cultural significance.
