Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo, did someone say it's Superb Owl Sunday again! 🦉

Go Owls!

Strix nebulosa (Great Gray Owl). (Best Latin name in the business, don't you think?)

Grays are so cool! They can focus sound with their large "ruff" (facial disk) to hear prey under as much as 60cm (2ft) of snow. Grays will hover over deep snow while listening & then snow plunge to catch their prey! Grays are certainly Superb Owls!

Timeline cleanse!

A Greek Lekythos (a vessel to store and pour scented oil) decorated with an #owl, 470 BC. 🦉

The owl was the sacred animal of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who was also the protector goddess of Athens.
