    One night I was driving a truck from Scotland down to Teeside England. Close to the border,you come to a roundabout where you can go straight on into Berwick or turn right, up the hill, headed towards Newcastle.
    As I started up the hill a Barn Owl came out of the trees and flew directly in front of the windshield for what seemed like 10-15 seconds. He was only a few feet in front of the truck and I had the most wonderful view of him. It's a moment and memory I'll never forget.

  • @donotdisturbmode
    @donotdisturbmode 3 роки тому +106

    Owls have barbs on their first primary feathers which break up the wind to muffle the sound. Not just being graceful but their feather design is mainly why they have silent flight. Slightly mentioned in the video, low wing loading (small, light body with big wings) also helps generate lift in flight.

Well, ~3.7 billion years of evolution will get some results, and whatever’s next after homo sapiens may be better at grasping such time spans. Currently 3.7 billion years are simply beyond what our species can deal with. Abhid: Though nature has a good head start, technology did come up with such a concept as the wheel which is probably the best example of tech without a blueprint in nature.

    Owls are so amazing. There is an owl that visits a small park near where I live in summer time. I can't wait for it's return. I found a kind of hawk moth last summer and I'm really interested in insects, too. So I picked up the moth to take a closer look and then it flew off from my hand! Unbelievably, a second later the owl flew silently past me and caught the poor hawk moth. That was mesmerizing to see, I did feel a bit bad for the moth but at the same time to see a moth fly right past me and caught the moth was fantastic! I also saw it catch a sparrow the week before that. Such awesome birds!

(Anyone younger than 40 probably won't know what I'm talking about lol) However, the birds that have always had my full attention are the regal, majestic, predatory hunters in the skies. Hawks, falcons, eagles, kites and...most importantly...owls of ALL types. Not sure what the attraction is but owls just seem so damn loveable and Panda Bear/Teddy Bear-ish, yanno? I love their faces, their eyes, the way they turn and, ultimately, their silence in flight while hunting.

    Our Owl Story.
    So, here in New Jersey, we do have a wonderful raptor rehab organization, called The Raptor Trust. My wife and I were passing one of the owl enclosures when an owl clearly got very agitated. The docent was there and explained:
    The owl thought of us as other owls. And since we were not as elevated as the owl, he was very worried for us and was trying to tell us to get to higher ground.

    A few nights ago, I looked up for some unknown reason and saw the biggest great horned owl swooping less than two feet over my head. It landed in a tall juniper tree on the patio and stayed there for over an hour.
    The moonlight was perfect for tiny critter spotting even though he probably didn't need the extra help. Anyway, I took all kinds of pictures. It felt like a benediction. I love these creatures.

    Owls are my favorite animal ever, specifically barn owls. They just have this stoic and reserved nature that I resonate with. Plus, oh my god, they’re so cool as a species I just feel drawn to them.

    I love the air of mystery surrounding owls. Although many falconry experts claim they are not intelligent, there are many sources that debate this in terms of long term study of these birds.

    Amazing video! I just learned more about owls in 14 min. than I ever knew. As a hunter/fisherman/outdoorsman I've been listening to owls my whole life since I was a young boy and I never knew that they could fly silently in Stealth Mode. Years ago while turkey hunting I was slowly making my way up a steep hill early in the morning with barely enough daylight to see the ground when I saw movement coming straight at me, I put my hand up out of reflex and a small owl hit me directly in my right hand and left scratches down my cheek. When I told my Dad what happened he said that it probably saw the top of my cap moving as I walked and thought it was a squirrel or a mouse and judging by the small size of the owl it was probably a screech owl. Scary incident absolutely, if it wasn't for my fast reflexes I could have lost my right eye, yet only received a few scratches and the owl was unscathed as it flew away.

    If the zombie apocalypse happens you definitely want to be an Owl.
    Not only they are the most effective hunters by either day time or night time. These guys are taking on Wolves (with an S. Plural) (!!!)
