Owls of the Eastern Deciduous Woodlands

Owls are some of the coolest birds. Most are nocturnal, and have incredible adaptations for night hunting. Owls have enormous eyes that help them see in the dark. They also have hearing that is so sharp that they can locate a mouse moving in total darkness. The feathers of owls are also unique; they have special edges so that they can fly almost silently. On top of all of this, each species of owl has its own unique abilities that make it a master hunter.
