There was so much to break down in this course that almost everything I've learned has become memorable! If I had to list some of my favorites, they'd have to be: - When an owlet has started to branch out of their nest, if they fall they'll climb back up into a tree - If you observe an owl's feet you can tell what their diet consists of - Their ears are uneven - An owl cannot move their eyes

The Bushbaby, White-Tailed Deer, and Sooty owl suprised me! Both the Bushbaby and White-Tailed Deer sounded more like birds than anything. And with the Sooty owl's call, I thought it might've been an insect!

Though owls engage in the same activities as most birds (hunting, raising young, etc.), their most notable differences are that they are nocturnal, do not often build their own nests, regurgitate sizable pellets, and are solitary. However, some of these characteristics are not strictly confined to owls (though they are commonly associated with them). For example, most raptors have pellets and are solitary. Some herons are also nocturnal.

I was not aware just how easy it is to learn an owl's diet just by observing their feet! It's baffiling how some of these owls have the precision to catch even the smallest of bugs and critters, and others the ability to catch prey almost as seemingly big as themselves! I wasn't all too surpised by the variety of their diet. From what I've read about, in some instances owls will feed even on roadkill. So they're definitely not picky eaters!
