	Owl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Owls are classified in two families: the typical owls, Strigidae, and the barn owls, Tytonidae.
		Although owls have binocular vision, their large eyes are fixed in their sockets, and they must turn their entire head to change views.

	Coveside Owl Houses
		Owl ears are located on the sides of the "facial disks," those round feather arrangements, and give owls the most highly developed sense of hearing of all birds.
		Screech owls breed from March, in the South, into July further north, and inhabit a small area close to the site of their nest. They have one brood a year of four to six young, and they are not generally migratory, preferring to be year-round residents.
		Screech owls are typical "night owls," hunting at night and sleeping during the day. They have a varied diet of small rodents and night-flying insects. They may even be seen catching moths under city street lights.

	Great Horned Owl (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Cottontail rabbits seem to be a prominent food, but the owls will take squirrels, shrews, jackrabbits, muskrats, mice, weasels, skunks, pocket gophers, snakes, domestic cats, bats, beetles, scorpions, frogs, grasshoppers, and a wide variety of birds, from small passerines like juncos and sparrows to wild ducks, grouse, pheasants, and even other owls.
		When owls are awake, they use their hearing and eyesight to alert them of danger or possible prey.
		Great horned owl eyes, which are almost as large as a humans, allows a great amount of light to pass through the pupil, so the owl can see in dark conditions.

		Since owls are night birds, they are difficult to see although their characteristic songs and calls can often be easily heard.
		I enjoy owls (and there is nothing so pleasant as going to sleep on a camping trips to a chorus of owls), but admit to not being much of an "owler." I tend to enjoy a drink after the sun sets, and there are other things to do indoors at night
		Owls of the genus Glaucidium (pygmy-owls and owlets) are primarily crepuscular but can occasional appear in broad daylight to the surprise of all, as did this Northern Pygmy-Owl (below right) that I found sitting on top a telephone pole at mid-morning.

		The Great-Gray Owl is considered to be North America's largest owl and flies short distances from branch to branch and seldom glides.Flies close to the ground, usually less than 6 metres up, except when flying to a nest.The Great Gray Owl is dark grey overall interspersed with bars and flecks of light grey and white.

		Typical of birds of prey, the female is slightly larger than the male.
		Although not known to prey on spotted owls, there is evidence the barred owl may compete with the spotted owl for food and cover and even hybridize with it.
		Grazing may degrade owl habitat to the extent that it inhibits regeneration of oak trees and other hardwoods and the growth of herbaceous and shrub vegetation that is needed to support an adequate prey base, especially wood rats.

	Information
		Since the eye is fixed in the skull, owls must orient themselves by rotating their heads rather than their eyes.
		The large owl species have eyes larger than humans(Alcorn 6).In most bird eyes, the sclera is a bony ring surrounding the pupil and the front portion.
		In the owl, the sclera is a tube uniting the lens, iris, and cornea with the retina(Alcorn 6).

	Barn Owl Information
		Owls in Southwestern BC are at the northern tip of their range, doing best in warmish, relatively stable climates.
		This allows the owl to triangulate (like playing a video game where you must align vertical and horizontal cross hairs to shoot your opponent), or locate its prey by bobbing its head, using the loudness of the sound in each ear to determine the exact location of prey.

	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Owl
		Owls compete with each other for territory and food, but fortunately owls of different species can coexist by hunting at different times of the day or night.
		The great gray owl Strix nebulosa, the ural owl Strix uralensis, and the tawny owl Strix aluco all live in the same range, but the great gray owl is a daytime hunter.
		This means that an owl must move its entire head to follow the movement of prey, but it also gives it better focus with both eyes looking in the same direction.
