The owl is a tertiary consumer in this food chain. It occupies a higher trophic level by preying on the mouse, which is a primary consumer that feeds on grass, a primary producer. This illustrates the flow of energy from producers to consumers in an ecosystem.
A lamb is not a tertiary consumer. It is a secondary consumer.
Hawks can be either secondary or tertiary consumers, depending on the organism it eats at any particular time. If it eats an herbivore such as a mouse, then it is a secondary consumer. If it eats another carnivore such as a snake, then it is a tertiary consumer.
It's a Tertiary consumer. (:
Well if you think about it this way (follow the OWL): a grasshopper eats grass and and a frog eats the grasshopper and the OWL eats the frog; in this situation the OWL is the tertiary consumer. In a different situation (follow the OWL): a mouse eats grass and an OWL eats the mouse; here, the OWL is the secondary consumer. You see, it all depends on the situation. Hope that helps :)
In the food chain you provided, the primary consumer is the squirrel. The squirrel feeds on the oak tree, which is a producer. This positions the squirrel as the first consumer in the chain, while the owl and eagle are secondary and tertiary consumers, respectively, that prey on the squirrel.
