description The paper presents an analysis of the diet of Long-eared Owl at the winter roosting place in Kikinda town during the autumn and winter months of 2014/2015. The osteological and odontological parts of prey items extracted from the pellets were used to investigate the diet composition of Long-eared Owl. In the result section, the composition of prey, dietary preferences, the width of the trophic niche and diet diversity were described and analyzed. Besides, a brief biogeographic overview of the small mammals' composition is given for the northern Banat district (Vojvodina Province, northern Serbia). The obtained results were compared with other similar studies from northern Serbia and the rest of the Pannonian Basin.
