BirdNote: The Eyes of an Owl
Aired:
11/04/2008
Peer into an owl’s face—there is something almost human about its large, forward-facing eyes. The Great Gray Owl, which stands two feet tall and weighs 2½ pounds, has eyes larger than those of most humans! Enormous eyes enable owls to see in near darkness. An owl’s retinal anatomy is similar to that of cats, which rival owls in seeing in dim light. Learn more about owls' eyesight from the World Owl Trust.
