How Are Owls Adapted to hunt?

Their wings have evolved such that owls fly virtually silently through the air. Their eyes are oversized and allow superior vision in all conditions, especially darkness. Owls possess excellent hearing as well. Owls have a very sharp beak and talons allowing them to grab and hold prey. Of great importance to the owl's hunting success and survival is the amazing camouflage provided by the coloration of its wings, making it nearly invisible to prey. Owls tend to mimic the colorations and sometimes even the texture patterns of their surroundings, the common barn owl being an exception.


What colour is an owls head?

The colour of an owl's head depends entirely on the species of owl. As birds of prey, their colour and patterning is frequently designed for camouflage and tends to be in dull shades of brown, cream, grey, and other colours that blend with their nocturnal environment (most owls are nocturnal). Although it would seem logical for nocturnal birds' camouflage colouring to include black, black is actually a bad colour to wear outdoors at night if you don't wish to be seen: black outlines and silhouettes actually stand out against night-time mottling of most environments. Apart from hunting camouflage, owls also need to avoid being seen when they're roosting in trees or other perches, or in nesting hollows and other spaces they adopt for nesting purposes. The links below have more information about owls. If you can determine the species of owl you need to know about, these links might be helpful.
