Think I’ve said that before. I saw on a documentary that when owls are in flight, there is no sound and they come up on their prey with deadly surprise. We have burrow owls here n they are protected but some not so honorable builders destroy their habitat.. grrr. Our majestic bald eagles are another protected bird and they are numbered and watched carefully.
