OWLS & OWLETS
OWLS are intriguing birds that easily capture the attention and curiosity of birders.They are from the family of the order STRIGIFORMES. Owls are peculiarly difficult to spot in the deep forests due to their camouflaged nature as well as their ability to hide quite easily into the bushes of the trees.
Owlets are small forms of the owls smaller in size than the owls whereas the owls are bigger and huge in form.
As avid photographers we always give our best to spot the owls and owlets cause they are very difficult to be photographed but once if spotted then they are photographers' best friends cause they don't fly away if proper silence is maintained at that juncture.
NATUROGRAPHERS have been lucky to spot either owls or owlets on all the wildlife tours we have been to and we are very privileged to display them on our blog for your viewing.
Few Facts About The Owls:
1.The owls have asymetrical ears.They are located above the head which in turn help them to get ready for the hunting of their prey.
2.The owls have binocular vision enabling them to have a large depth of field of view enabling them to get the view of the prey quite easily.
3.The big owls hunt smaller owls for their food and are very dangerous in the night hence we have coined them as nocturnal predators.
4.Spotting a single owl is difficult but sometimes they are always in pair or in a group. That group is called the parliament. Parliament of Owls.
5.The owls have their heads which rotate about 270 degress thereby giving them almost roundabout view of the places where they are.
6.They feed on small mammals , insects , fish as well as small birds.Their eyes are more powerful in the night making them dangerous predators at that time.
