There are two types of light-sensitive cells in the retina. Rods are far more light-sensitive, but cannot discern color. Cones are less sensitive, but can detect colors. An owl actually doeshave color-sensitive cones in their eyes, and therefore can probably detect colors to some extent. The retina of an owl is packed with almost 56,000 rods per square millimeter. That works out to more than 36 million rods per square inch. Furthermore, behind the retina, they have a reflective layer of cells called the tapetum lucidum, which reflects back onto the rods any light that may have passed through the retina without hitting one the first time. The end result is that an owl's night vision is approximately 100 times more sensitive in low light levels than a human, but at the cost of being farsighted (they can't focus on close objects). They also are unable to move their eyes in their sockets, which is why they have to turn their entire head to see something in a different direction.
