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.

    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.
