134- A NATTY NIGHT TIME OWL PROWL!...Shhhhhhhh.....

Here's an adventure in our society, in the dark, that you may not have considered...an OWL PROWL!
You have to study for a bit, with pictures and sound recordings, before you go out and about, preferably in a wooded area...and be quiet. You won't be the same, developing an appreciation for the birds that seem to be able to turn their heads 360-degrees.
Pigmy owls can be found out in the desert. In Virginia we have great horned owls for the ear tufts that protrude...the large barred owls. Barred owls make a loud, scary kind of sound for first time adventurers in the woods. Screech owls are the tiny bundle of feathers, with a soft whirring sound, requiring astute listening skills. My fave, however, is the barn owl...tall and with a unique face.
Google to "owls" for a neat entrance into the world of an OWL PROWL, complete with pics and even sounds!
Yes, a time or three have ventured out into a woods to listen to those tiny screech owls, as a kid and at summer camp. And how do owls turn their heads all the way around? They don't...to watch you watching them, and especially for listening for prey, their head will turn around and then very quickly whip back around to the other side. Have seen a slow motion video showing them doing that. They are so fast that it appears as if the owl's head swivels all the way around.
I think, if you google 'owls', you'll like the pics of the barn owls and the petite screech guys!
