Owls are an incredible group of mostly nocturnal raptors that specialize in small mammals, arthropods, birds, and for some, fish. Their feather structure, binocular vision, and powerful talons make them silent, effective stalkers.
Considered omens of death and bad luck in many cultures, and as a symbol of wisdom in western culture, owls are often met with a sense trepidation because humans tend to be uneasy in the night. With this mission, we can collect owl encounters that hopefully break the stigmas owls carry, and show them for what they truly are: amazing, beautiful flying predators!
