Owl Feathers and Flight (2015)

We occasionally had a barn owl hanging out in our barn when I was a lad.

I remember it being very ghostly at night when it was active, because its underside was very white and it would glide soundlessly from one end to the other.

Sort of the opposite were the barn swallows, which were numerous, social, very twittery to the point you would think they were talking, and amazingly agile. I miss all the birds.

Very interesting. I am interested in birds and bird watching but that page contained many facts unknown to me.

Love this. Owls are fascinating. It feels very strange how light they are when they perch on you - even though I was expecting it.
