The rehabilitator behind wears a dark top in a shade best described as "ocean diving on a moonlit night". The owl has large black eyes, with the slightest tinge of brown to them, and a ceiling tube light reflected in each. She has a bright yellow beak and plumage in bars of ashy white and brown. She looks like a polite owl.

Back again for #WildlifeWednesday, we want to take a “closer look” at our owl friends, specifically their impressive eyesight!

As you can see from this Barred Owl, who has recently been released, owl eyes are incredibly distinct, typically varying between gorgeous shades of yellow and brown depending on the species. While they are certainly mesmerizing, the large eyes also play an integral part in making owls such skilled hunters. Like humans, these beauties have what is called binocular vision, which gives them depth perception! Unlike humans, however, owl eyes have an exceptional ability to notice slight movement in the dark.

These capabilities combined make owls masters of detecting rodents scurrying along the ground, even from their perches high in the trees. There’s no hiding from these winged wonders!

With sandy blond feathers and a sandy blond towel, it's hard to tell where the owl starts and the towel ends. The rehabilitator behind holds the owl by the legs and wears a uniform bearing a white logo on a field of dark maroon. The owl's feet are bunched up like fists. Above his pale green eyes are some dark brow feathers, which are flat and neutral, giving him an almost relaxed appearance. The brow ridge may become more angular and develop into a grumpier-looking expression. Give it time.
