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.

We also have the Waldkauz (tawny owl) in German, which would translate to "wood owl". (In German there is a difference between Eule and Kauz while in English and zoology there isn't.)
Out of curiosity, what's the difference between Eule and Kauz?
I remembered I had discussed this with someone before, and I found the thread here where someone explains it to me a bit. I'm all for more people explaining it though, I learn a lot from these language lessons, it almost makes it worth my feeling embarrassed for getting things wrong to begin with!
Thanks for the link!!
Of course! Successful_Try 543 added a bunch of useful comments there yesterday and today as well.
I'll make sure I read them all! I really love learning these neat language things
