Perched up high, upon a branch
In the forest, dark and scary
The owl waits for his next prey
Though his mistress, quite contrary
She sits inside, in black of night
By the window, where she eyes
Creatures scurrying about the grass
And much to her surprise
One comes closer, just enough
So the door, she opens wide
Watches as it makes its way
Unsuspecting, now inside
The cauldron boils and bubbles
As the witch begins to chortle
“Trick or treat, my tasty one
It’s time for my nightly mortal”

Night Owl Poetry - Dorinda Duclos 
You do spooky so well, Dear! Funny but most people don’t know that the owl hunts by hearing. They put on in a room with leaves on the floor and the owl did great. They they covered it in foam rubber and the owl didn’t even try to hunt because the mice were “invisible” to the owl. Weird. Goes against the reputation!
Happy Saturday, Dorinda!!

👍🏻 So, how well can owls hear? Have you ever heard the saying “you can hear a pin drop?” Well, an owl probably can! A great gray owl sitting on a fencepost 60 feet away can locate a vole running in a tunnel under 18 inches of snow. A barn owl can capture prey when blindfolded. However, they cannot capture prey if one of their ears is plugged or if they lose their facial disc feathers. For owls, when it comes to finding food, listening is definitely better than looking. – https://sciencetrek.org/sciencetrek/topics/owls/facts.cfm
