Barn Owls

Owls. Whoo else loves them?

Whimsical Words

This is the first blog in a series of owl-focused posts to promote Owl Light, my new YA-friendly collection of stories featuring owls. Each post features a mix of owl art, facts, folklore, quotes, and links to owlish sites. If you’re a fan of owls, or know someone whooo is, follow my blog, buy my book, and be kind to these beautiful birds.

 Owl art: The cover painting for Owl Light features a barn owl. I love the species’ heart-shaped face.

Owl fact: Owl ears are located behind their eyes and concealed by feathers.

Owl folklore: Owls are associated with sorcery and dark magic in numerous African cultures.

Owl links: Are you a fan of Barn Owls? If so, you should check out the Barn Owl Headquarters and a video of a Barn Owl that doesn’t like dogs.

And, of course, here’s a buy link for Owl Light.
