And the Owls said, "Have we honored the summer-house by occupying it all these years--and is the horrid light of noonday to be let in on us at last?
The Owls shrieked as they flapped along the lanes in the darkness, And that night they struck at a mouse--and missed him.
And when the world saw it, and said, "Now we shall do!" the Owls shut their eyes in pious remembrance of the darkness, and answered, "My lords and gentlemen, the Constitution is destroyed!"
After the June baby and I had been welcomed back by the other two with as many hugs as though we had been restored to them from great perils, and while we were peacefully drinking tea under a beech tree, I happened to look up into its mazy green, and there, on a branch quite close to my head, sat a little baby
owl. I got on the seat and caught it easily, for it could not fly, and how it had reached the branch at all is a mystery.
The note of this once wild Indian pheasant is certainly the most remarkable of any bird's, and if they could be naturalized without being domesticated, it would soon become the most famous sound in our woods, surpassing the clangor of the goose and the hooting of the
owl; and then imagine the cackling of the hens to fill the pauses when their lords' clarions rested!
The owl flapped its wings again, muttering these words:
"The owl hasn't given us any advice, as yet," the boy declared.
The Foolish Owl must be foolish or she wouldn't be the Foolish Owl.
They said good-bye to the Wise Donkey and the Foolish Owl and at once resumed their journey.
In the study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, scientists used GPS trackers to monitor the hunting success of red and white barn
owls under different phases of the moon.
Biologists have seen Barred
Owls in Spotted
Owl territories within the national park more and more frequently since Spotted
Owl surveys began in 1997.
The movement-behavior parameters in the model were estimated using Bayesian statistical inference based on radio telemetry data of juvenile little
owls. Amongst other things, the researchers were able to show plausible inter-individual and -sexual behavioral differences female juvenile little
owls tend to move more directionally and fly longer distances during the dispersal phase, while their male counterparts are characterized by a tendency to take longer rests, and show a greater attachment to suitable habitat.
