Description
4 Great Horned owls, Bubo virginianus, with brown patterned feathers, white chests, and orange upright feathered head tufts are arranged on a brown background with a repeating indigenous inspired owl icon with staring eyes in this Great Horned Owl nature mandala. Most people unmistakably believe that an owl’s ears are located at the erect tufts of feathers seen on top of its head. In both tufted and un-tufted owls, buried below specialized feathers at lateral edges of an owl’s concave facial disk, or ‘ruff’ lie the asymmetrical ear conchs or openings, its true ears. The facial disc is made up of tightly packed tiny feathers that funnel sound to these ear openings. Directional hearing and sound amplification and location are highly efficient with this off center super-sensory setup making owls efficient hunters.
