Under starry skies, let the owl to accompany me

The owl is Himalayan Owl,the scientific name is Strix nivicola

Why am I so love owls

Because they can hunt in the dark and come without a shadow

Most people are curious is why the owl in flight always quiet

Because there is a magical construction on their wings

It named Comb feather

And the other reason is

The wings of the rear end of the trailing feathers arranged in irregular, like a scarf fringed, which reduces most rapidly during flight

Some people may ask, why is it so hard to find an owl

Because the color of feathers must of integration with the surrounding environment, to help it avoid some potentially dangerous

This is very important for them, so rest during the day,  must be keep hidden
