Those eyes could stare you down! So intent. I love the striped pattern on the bird's underside. The feathers around the eyes almost look like a mask. I'd hate to be a mouse in his (or her) domain!
There Was An Owl
There was an owl
who lived in an oak.
The more he heard,
the less he spoke;
the less he spoke,
the more he heard-
We all should be
like that wise old bird.

Be like the owl's tree, strong and straight, by day, and let the owl be itself by night!
i've heard their call at night but not in a long time
did as a mystery
