Night Life

When we think of owls, we think of being active at night. But even among the owls, enjoying the nightlife does not always mean the same thing. Several of Idaho's owls are strictly nocturnal. The barn owl and long-eared owl become active only after dark. Burrowing owls and pygmy owls are more likely to be active during the day or diurnal. And the great horned owl is "crepuscular". This means that it is most active at dawn and dusk.

So, why are these owls out at different times of night? Because many owls share habitats, being active at different parts of the night might help reduce competition between the different kinds of owls. In addition, different prey species are also active at different times of night. Owls need to be able to hunt at the same time that their food is active to make sure that they get dinner!

he colors of owl feathers tend to be tan, brown, gray, rufous, and white. These muted tones help owls camouflage themselves against tree trunks and branches.

Unlike most raptors, many owls have feathers on their legs and toes. Owls have large eyes that face forward as do your eyes. Around the eyes are the facial disks that give the owl a "face." Their wings are long and broad and their tails are usually short.
