From Karin Skl
Listed as a "Waldohreule," which translates from German to ~~"Wood Owl,"~~ "Wood(Forest) Ear Owl" but many of us would know it as a Long Eared Owl.

Isn't it rather "Forest Ear Owl" or at least "Woods Ear Owl"? As far as I know, wood without the s rather translates to Holz than Wald.
Thought of that as well, and then opted for OPs version with just adding the word. But you're right.
To me in this context I would naturally interpret wood as a more old-time way of saying forest as opposed to a piece of wood or something made of wood, but going with forest is probably more broadly understandable.
