The Owl Tree

The Owl Tree is an oak tree home to an owl in ThunderClan's territory in the forest territories.Revealed in the forest territory map
==Description==
:The Owl Tree is found close to Fourtrees territory and the river, to the west of ThunderClan's camp. Inbetween it and the Clan's camp, the sandy hollow can be found. The tree iself is a massive oak that towers above the other surrounding flora. In the trunk there is a hole where an owl takes residence, as told by the scent and the owl pods found at the base of the tree's roots. Despite the danger of the owl, ThunderClan cats use the owl's own hunting abilities to their advantage, following the bird to find more prey on windy nights.
==History==
===In the Dawn of the Clans arc===
====A Forest Divided====
:Thunder comes across a tall oak tree with a wide gap near the top. Noticing owl pellets on the ground nearby, Thunder concludes that it must be an owl hole, suspecting that prey much be plentiful.
===In The Prophecies Begin arc===
====Fire and Ice====
:Fireheart shows Cinderpaw the Owl Tree while taking her on a tour of ThunderClan territory. He explains the usage of the tree for ThunderClan warriors, and plays a joke on the young she-cat when she asks how they know it is an owl that lives in the tree and not just a squirrel. Later on, ShadowClan patrols are reported to have been scented near the Owl Tree, on two separate occasions.
====Rising Storm====
:Sandstorm finds Littlecloud and Whitethroat on ThunderClan territory by the Owl Tree while on a dawn patrol.
===In the Super Editions===
====Bluestar's Prophecy====
:Mumblefoot makes a few remarks about Featherwhisker being more of a medicine cat than his mentor, Goosefeather. The shaggy elder reports to the gray tom that he had found Goosefeather asleep and sunning himself by Owl Tree. Bluepaw is later taken out by Stonepelt to hunt, alongside her sister, Snowpaw and her mentor, Sparrowpelt. The two warriors figure out where to hunt, with Stonepelt suggesting the Owl Tree. Sparrowpelt, however, disagrees, pointing out that hunting might be hard due to the owl.
:After Bluefur gives up her kits to Oakheart, she wishes to go hunting on her own. She scrambles up the ravine and to the Owl Tree, spotting a squirrel. It scrambles among the roots of the oak, and Bluefur, wondering if Stonekit still remembered his ThunderClan hunting crouch, kills it for the Clan.
