🦉 Did you know that the Long-eared Owl doesn’t actually have ears in those “ears”?
Those tufts are just feathers — used for camouflage and to express mood!
Its real ears are hidden on the sides of its head, perfectly adapted for pinpointing sounds in total darkness. 🌌

Owls have tubular eyes so they actually can't move their eyes like human eyeballs can.

@Oaktag I feel a little bad about being charmed by barred owls as they are…an actual invasive species? (Like, the few northern spotted owls that remain have *stopped making territorial calls* so the barred owls won’t sweep in and attack them physically.) But somehow an individual owl is just an animal and a wonder to me, anyway!
(According to my reading, your California Spotted Owls are doing much better against ‘em!) #OwlFacts
