Owl

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.
