There are several ways owls (and other birds) tolerate cold (fridgid) weather. They eat, then conserve energy by entering a state of hypothermia in which they lower their core temperature, slowing their hearts and metabolism. Birds have an oil of sorts which coats their feathers (which grow out denser for winter) and it acts as an insulator against the wind, in addition they fluff their feathers and create pockets of warm air.

If you backyard feed birds in the spring and summer the birds become reliant upon you for food. Please be a year-round friend by keeping your feeders full in all seasons, our feathered friends become dependant on your generousity and need the seed to stay warm!

Why is the owls head feature important?

The owl's head feature is that it can turn its head all the way around. This is important because that way the owl can protect itself from predators. The owl itself, being a big predator, will need to look all ways for prey. God knew that the owl would need this special skill, and so He gave it to the owl. 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).
