Owl

Owls are large birds of prey who are best known for their hooting calls. Owls are generally nocturnal animals tending to sleep during the day and come out at night.

Most owls prefer to live in wooded areas, although some owls will find a home in old church steeples or old buildings.

An owl can be easily recognized by its large eyes on the front of its flattened face, and its hooked beak. Its large eyes, positioned on a flat face gives the owl very good eye sight. The owl also has very good hearing, allowing it to easily catch rodents, such as a mouse, in the dark.
