Owls

winnie cut through the peaceful air. A pegasus fell from above and landed on the island, too far for Poseidon to heal him. As Potatoession got closer, she noticed owl feathers all over the pegasus wing, which was now broken. “What the underworld are owl feathers doing on a pegasus wing?” She said to herself. “Maybe he ran into an owl... weird.” The pegasus whined in pain. Potatoession, not knowing that she should've just put him in the water, hauled the poor animal onto her boat. As

Lab Report: Owl Pellet Kirsten de Jong September 19, 2015 1. An owl pellet is made up of portions of things which an owl can’t digest. The pellet can contain things like feathers, bones, fur, and teeth, these things have very little nutritional value to the owl. These things are tightly formed together in the owl’s stomach, which is then spit out by the owl every 12 hours producing two every day. 2. Owl pellets are home and food for many different fungi and insects. Fumigation is the removal of

Northern Spotted Owls Soaring high above the ground late at night, under the dark canopy of trees. Stooping down low to catch a small rodent. It flies back up into its nest, ready to eat. There is only one animal that matches all of these descriptions, and that’s an owl! A particular owl, called the Northern Spotted Owl, is a small brown bird that lives in old-growth forests also known as “cloud forests”. This essay will provide information on the northern spotted owl and discuss its appearance

Owl Pellets Introduction Owl pellets are masses of bone, teeth, hair, feathers and exoskeletons of various animals preyed upon by raptors, or birds of prey. Owls have weak stomach muscles that form undigested bones, feathers, and fur. Because they can’t break those things down they regurgitate them in the form of a ball called a pellet. Owls produce these pellets and regurgitated them approximately 20 hours after eating. The purpose of this lab is to dissect an owl’s pellet and investigate

species I have chosen to do it on the burrowing owl. I have chosen the owl because I really like owls and they are such majestic animals. I am going to be saying stuff on the Burrowing owl and why they are endangered and what is being done to rescue them. The Burrowing owl is a very endangered species. There are fewer than 1000 pairs in Canada. The average burrowing owl grows up to 23-28 centimeters tall and weighs up to 125 to 185 grams. A Burrowing owl is a small, sandy looking animal with bright

of when you hear the word, “owl?” You might picture a barred owl with its elegant white feathers and small beak. But what about its distant relative? The Great Horned owl lives up to its name by its horned ears. This remarkable creature really stands out in the bird family due to the lack of predators and how small and aggressive it is. The Great Horned Owl is one of many Owls. Although there are many different species of owls, this one is unique. This particular owl is small, has a different diet

The spotted owls in western North America still exist today, despite being an endangered species. There has been plenty of controversy surrounding the species regarding their habitat because their habitat is desired and used by logging companies. These owls tend to reside in old forests as they prefer old trees which are also preferred for logging. There has been plenty of controversy on whether or not logging companies should be put to a halt in forests that these owls reside in, which involve balancing

Burrowing owls are an amazing species of owl that is currently in danger. Historically, the owl resides in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. This species is migratory through most of its range, breeding in North American and spending the winter south of the border in Mexico. The burrowing owl breeds March through July. The owl nests in a burrow made by other small mammals, and lines the burrow with grasses, feathers, and other natural resources. The owl can lay up to eleven eggs, but usually

biological clock and the ticking clock, that decides our day to day activities. However, before this, we first need to identify our biological clock. There are too many comparisons made between early birds and night owls. You may find some, that advocate for early birds; while, some say night owls are blessed with additional talents. However, I believe that both these sections of people, belonging to different chronotype, possess different potentialities. However, when they are working at their peak hours
