OWLS

These distinctive birds of prey are divided into two families, the Barn Owl ( Tytonidae )and the Typical Owls( Strigidae ). All have immobile eyes in large heads. Fluffy plumage makes their flight almost soundless. Many species hunt at night and rest by day. To find an owl, search the ground for regurgitated pellets of fur and bone below a nest or roost. Listen for flocks of small songbirds noisily mobbing a roosting owl.
