Barn Owls and True Owls are the main types of owls. Barn Owls hunt at night and strictly at night, so their eyes are black to help them see better. True Owls have orange and yellow eyes. Yellow eyes help owls see better during dawn and dusk, and orange eyes help owls see during the day and dusk. Owls do come out in the day.
Uhhmmm.... other types of owls.
All owls have night vision. Since the desert can get so hot, most animals, including owls, come out at evening or night to avoid the heat of day. Since they're active at night, it's good to have nocturnal vision. Some desert owls are elf owls, pygmy owls, burrowing owls, great horned owls. It allows them to hunt when it is cooler.
Owls, Falcons, Hawks, Condors and Eagles
Some owls migrate...it depends upon the species of owl. For instance, snowy owls migrate south in the winter much in the same way that other types of birds migrate south for the winter.
