From Hawaii Wildlife Center

This is the fiercest burrito we have ever seen!

The Pueo is Hawaii's only native owl. It's a type of Short Eared Owl.

Hawaii has one other owl:

The Barn Owl was brought in by the Board of Agriculture and Forestry from 1958-1963 to eat rats in the sugarcane fields. The Barn Owls are generalist predators, eating near any meaty things they can catch, so they have been a massive success and have spread all across the islands.

No evidence exists showing they did anything to resolve the rat issue though! 😧
