Owl
What is it about owls that makes them so mysterious to us? They
have had a powerful hold on the human imagination across centuries
and cultures, appearing as warnings of doom or as symbols of
wisdom. Of course, we know they are nocturnal,
and their nighttime habits may make them seem scary or spooky
to us. We think of them flying silently over churchyards, and
their eyes seem to glow in the dark. But there’s nothing
supernatural about their acute hearing and sight. Far from fearing
owls, we should appreciate them as competent predators that
hunt mice and other rodents,
helping to maintain a balance in nature.
