Burrowing owls have exceptional senses that help them thrive in their environment. Their vision is incredibly sharp, especially during the day, allowing them to spot prey from a distance. Their hearing is also highly developed, enabling them to detect sounds and movements, even sounds underground. It’s truly remarkable how well-equipped owls are. They have excellent vision, especially during the day, which helps them spot prey from a distance. Their hearing is also highly developed, allowing them to detect the sounds and movements of potential threats or prey. All owls are predators, meaning that they are specially developed to capture and kill living things.
The author informs us about the amazing burrowing owl species found in Cape Coral, Florida. She goes in depth about the growth and development of these ground-dwelling birds. Their huge eyes allow them to see three-dimensional images. Because of their binocular vision, owls can see well at night and are extremely accurate hunters. They can hear extremely well and see movement in very little light, thanks to these specially adapted features that help them hunt for food in the dark.
Many owls have densely packed feathers in front of their ears, forming a circular pattern known as a ruff that collects sound. They do not have visible ears; the tuffs on the heads of some owls are often referred to as ears but they have no relationship to hearing.
Their rounded faces, also known as facial discs, help direct sound into their ears, which are just holes in the sides of their heads, and provide them with ten times better hearing than the human ear. Their ear openings are asymmetrical — with one ear being larger than the other and frequently situated a little higher on the head’s side. These incredible hearing abilities allow them to pinpoint the sound’s location.
The owls often twist their heads to get more information about their prey. This makes an owl able to hear the softest rustle of its prey and to accurately pinpoint the sound. While flying, the feathers surrounding the ear openings reduce air turbulence, shield the openings, and permit sound waves to enter the ear canal.
Beverly Saltonstall writes about her fascinating experience and interactions with the amiable birds in a way that piques readers’ interest in learning more about burrowing owls and the background of the area.
