Owls are magnificent. They have huge wingspans and yet can fly silently. This is because the shape of their wings allows them to break up turbulent air and absorb sound. An unsuspecting rodent, bird or insect has no chance. I photographed this owl in South Florida at the very end of the day just as the sun went down. Already in "Stealth Mode" I'm sure this owl has its sights on dinner. Mother Nature takes no prisoners.
