/ owl occupies more space in its
skull than its rain. This is a clue
to its Importance.
The pupil is very small in
daylight ut at night the iris is
drawn back to let in many times
more light. Owls are able to see
rats, mice, flying squirrels, rab-
bits, and other animals at long
distances. The cornea of the owls
eye is flexible and is made to
change to adjust the eye to the
distance. The lens does not change
its focal length as in the human
eye.
Hearing
The owl has a sense of hearing
which is about as acute as that
of seeing. In order to locate its
prey, the owl has to be able to
pick up the patter of rat and
mouse feet on leaves or the rustic
of grass.
Unlike other irds, the owl has
a large outer ear made of folded
skin and large opening for de-
tecting sounds. The ears are hid
den under the feathers, but
sound seems to be able to pass
through the loose, fluffy feathers.
In flight, the ears and eyes Of
the owl are turned towards the
ground. A small animal can be
seen or heard and located. This
makes it difficult for the prey
to escape.
Movements
The owlw is adapted for perch
ing on tree ranch to watch. 1t
can turn its head through an
angle of 270 degrees. This ex-
ceeds mans ability by 80 degrees.
The owl is abble to do this by
virtue of its IA vertebrae in the
neck. Man can turn through 1870
degrees with only 7 vertebrae in
his neck. The owl, when watch
ing moving object, can return
its head to former position with
great rapidity. This is how the
erroneous idea arose that they
could and would twist their
heads off by turning around.
he sudden dart of the owl to
capture its prey is done silently.
There is no swishing of the wings
through the air to be heard by
the victim. Instead of having
! hard wing lines, the leading pri-
maries are covered with soft
down to prevent noise.
The four toes of owls can be
turned forward or one or two
can be turned backward. This
helps in perching and in grasping
the prey.
Owls are among our most in
teresting friends.

REMEDY FOR LOVE-"O you

only fowl. Again, this is an
erroneous idea The owl is of
limited intelligence. There are
several birds that rank higher
than it does.
Modern Attitude
Since people have turned to
the more objective method of
investigation, experimentation,
and arriving at logical conclus-
ions most of the erroneous ideas
have fallen by the wayside. We
now know that the owl has
adaptations which are suited to
taking care of its own needs in
its normal environment, but no
supernatural or magic powers.
Through scientific investiga-
ton, it has been determined that
owls are most vital link in the
conservation chain. The owls as
a group are one of the greatest
factors in the control of rodents.
This is shown by an ANALYSIS of
the pellets of undigested material
as bones, hair, shells, and fea-
theirs which are regurgitated by
owls after the digestable nutri-
ents have been removed.
A single owl may consume
several hundred rodents per year.
The investigation reveals that the
OF owls is entirely of animal orr
gin, that most of it is rodents, and
they eat very few beneficial
animals.
After we learn to identify the
species of owls by their notes,
there is a charm to their songs
which one may enjoy occasional
ly at night during much of the
year. They sing for us occasion
ally as they guard our food har-
vest and other supplies from rats,
mice, flying squirrels and other
rodents.
Seeing
There are about 525 known
species of owls in the world, the
great majority which are noe
trnal in habits.u They are distri-
buted from the tropics-~to the
NNorthern limits of coniferous
forest, and from marshes to des-
erts. Their food consists chiefly
of small animals found in relative
abundance in their environments.
Since most, owls hunt for food
at night, they have to be equip
ped with special means for find
ing it. The chief sense organ used
in this progress is the eye. Eyes
have to be adapted to seeing at
night. Their eyes differ from
most other birds in that they
have inocular vision. Their eyes
are at the front of thehead rather
than on the sides. They are di-
rected forward and serve as a
range finder. Either eye of an
