Owls
The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

What is the summary of The Owl by Edward Thomas?
Substance of the poem: The poet came down a hill. He was hungry, tired and feeling cold. But he was not really starving. He could still relish a shelter under a roof, and had sufficient warmth within him to resist the cold wind. He got food, fire and rest in an inn. He was protected from darkness and cold that prevailed outside the inn. But he could not avoid hearing the sad note of an owl coming distinctly from a hill. the cry of the owl seemed to remind him of those soldiers and poor people who had not been able to get food and shelter. So, although he got good food and rest, he could not enjoy himself.

Man is an enemy of any owl. About 96% of all owls are killed by humans. Most were shot or trapped. They also die from pesticides. When they eat their prey and it has been exposed to pesticides it gets inside the owl's body and then the owl dies. Burrowing owls make a sound like a rattlesnake shaking its tail. This scares skunks and coyotes, which are animals that eat owls. It also scares ground squirrels that might try to move into the same tunnels.
