Flying Owl Outstretched Above Open Grassland

Shown at an angle in mid-flight, this owl extends its broad wings fully across the sky. Powerful talons are positioned beneath its body as it glides over a simple grassy habitat.

Silent Flight and Hunting Above Fields

Owls flying low over fields rely on comb-like serrations on the leading edges of their flight feathers to break up air turbulence. This unique structure eliminates the fluttering noise common in other birds, allowing owls to glide silently over grassy ground. Hunting over open fields gives them a clear path to swoop down quickly once prey is detected.

How far can an owl spread its wings?
Depending on the species, owl wingspans range from two feet in smaller owls to over five feet in larger varieties.
