@ Night Owl "Shall we rest on this bench, for a while, Xander, and do the crossword?" said Buzzz. "Let's see—ooh, here's a fitting one! 'A dramatic scene — the board get gold!' Seven letters."

Night Owl The tawny owl or brown owl (Strix aluco) is a stocky, medium-sized owl commonly found in woodlands across much of Europe, Asia and North Africa. Shakespeare used the tawny owl's song in Love's Labour's Lost (Act 5, Scene 2) as Then nightly sings the staring owl, Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot, but this stereotypical call is actually a duet, with the female making the kew-wick sound, and the male responding hooo.

Owl Be Watchin' You Did you know that the color of an owl's eyes can help identify its species and what time of day it prefers to hunt? Owls with black eyes are nocturnal. The black color helps them to camouflage in the darkness. Owls with yellow eyes are diurnal, which means they prefer to hunt in the daytime and sleep at night. And owls with orange eyes are crepuscular, meaning they’re active during low light periods such as dusk and dawn, and prefer hunting for their meal during those times of the day.
