Owls | Can’t Sleep? Learn About These Nocturnal Hunters
Owls have been fascinating humans for thousands of years, which is probably what happens when a bird can fly almost silently and turn its head much farther than seems reasonable. This episode explores the unique features of owls, including their powerful eyesight, sensitive hearing, specialized feathers, and hunting abilities. Along the way, you’ll hear about different owl species, where they live, and the adaptations that make them such effective nighttime predators.
It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
