Owls: Top 5 Photos of the Week
Like hawks and eagles, owls are called raptors, or birds of prey, which means they use sharp talons and curved bills to hunt, kill, and eat other animals.
But owls are different from hawks and eagles in several ways. Most owls have huge heads, stocky bodies, soft feathers, short tails, and a reversible toe that can point either forward or backward. Owl’s eyes face forward as humans do. Most owl species are active at night, not in the daytime.
Now let’s see in this article, some amazing “Owls” photos that we have featured from our Facebook group.
