Can you find the owl?
Look for a large mottled grey-brown owl. They are a well camouflaged hunter, easily blending into the trees. Serrated edges on their wing feathers allow owls to fly silently - another way to surprise their prey.
Hunt a skunk?
Owls have excellent hearing and eyesight, but a poor sense of smell. This can be an advantage: great horned owls will catch and eat skunks. Less smelly meals include ducks,
rabbits and other small animals.
