Title: This is not an optical illusion Written by: savio on Aug 29, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/46687_29_08_13_1_33_09.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=13141) See anything peculiar? If you look closely, you'll see an Eastern screech owl hiding in plain sight. These owls are nocturnal and their amazing camouflage allows them to go largely unnoticed in the daytime. These owls only grow to about 22 cm (8.5 in) tall and weigh about 244 grams (8.6 oz), but they have been observed hunting squirrels and rats who rival them in length and weight. Eastern screech owls are found in North America from Canada all the way down to Mexico. |
