Different types of owls

_Elsa_

It’s time to end our story ………….. but before we do let’s check in with Tiffi one more time. 

Tiffi asks Odus to come over because she wants him to check out his story before it gets posted. He arrives at her house on time and as she walks over to the computer she starts chattering away, her usual talkative state of mind. 

“So Odus, besides doing all the reminiscing with you I really didn’t know much about owls,” Tiffi says. “I gathered some information from articles that I found on Google. I want you to please follow along as we read this together. I want to make sure that the facts about owls are correct.” 

Odus really loves what Tiffi wrote, except for the part where it says owls are not wise. He knows that’s not true because he’s been around for 110 years and has gained a lot of knowledge! He thinks that perhaps he should write to the person who wrote the article saying that what they wrote was incorrect.

Physical Description and Appearance

Size: Owls vary in size from one species to another. The smallest elf owl, Tamaulipas pygmy owl, and long-whiskered owlet measure 5 in (13.5 m) while the largest Blakiston’s fish owl and Eurasian eagle-owl are 28 in (71 cm) long.

Weight: Their weight varies between 1 oz (31 g) and 9.3 lb (4.2 kg).

Color: Their feathers can be brown, tan, gray, white, and Rufous.

Face: They have oval faces, quite apparent in great gray owls and barn owls.

Ears: These are located at the side of their heads and are not aligned symmetrically.

Feathers: They have two types of feathers, comprising the outer layer of protetive contour feathers and an inner layer of insulating fluffy feathers. (More here) 

Together they look at the picture that Tiffi found online comparing the different types of owls. Odus wonders which owl resembles him……………………..
