Silent Flight: Most owls share an innate ability to fly almost silently and also more slowly in comparison to other Birds of Prey. Most owls live a mainly nocturnal lifestyle and being able to fly without making any noise gives them a strong advantage over their prey that are listening for any sign of noise in the dark night.
Eyesight: Owls are part of a small group of birds that live nocturnally, but do not use echolocation to guide them in flight in low-light situations. They have superior nocturnal vision than their prey.
Specialized Hearing: With the ears set at different places on the skull, the owl is able to determine the direction in which the sound is coming from by the minute difference in time that it takes for the sound waves to penetrate the left and right ear. The owl turns its head until the sound reaches both ears simultaneously, at which point it is directly facing the source of the sound.
Camouflage: The coloration of the owl's plumage plays a key role in its ability to sit dormant and blend into the environment, making themselves nearly invisible to prey.

The owl is also a very alert bird, and you will often see them turnig there heads with caution. The most common type of owl is the Great Horned Owl (Alberta's provincial bird).
