#funfact about #owls... Owls, #birds of the order Strigiformes, include about 200 species
of mostly solitary and #nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright
stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision and binaural hearing, and #feathers adapted for silent flight.  To some cultures they are symbols of #wisdom.  In the #adirondacks we have a lot of these beautiful animals.

This Fenton Owl is on a tree branch with the full moon above.  How great is this.
