Best time to see an Owl..

Owls are thick set, rounded birds with large, flat or rounded heads and legs. Owls are difficult to see because they really come to life at night, and its whole body is especially suited to this kind of life. Once the owl has started its prey and heard its movement, it can even see it in the dark. This is because the eyeballs of the owl are elastic. It can focus them from any distance. The owl can also open the pupil of its eye very wide. This enables it to make use of all the night light there is. The owl’s eyes are placed so that it has to turn its whole head to change the direction of its glance. Even the owl’s feathers help it to hunt for its food.
