Geocache Description:


Welcome to "For the Birds" GeoArt. These are typical trail style hides on Nipmuck Trail and Rankin Preserve of Joshua's Trust Preserve starting at Route 74 in Ashford.

The cache pages consist of mostly easy owlsome bird puzzles to emu-se yourselves and friends.

This is it, the BONUS! I hope you saved the necessary bonus information found in some of the Certitude validations. That information is needed to solve the bonus cache.

The container is NOT at the posted coordinates.

Puzzle #BONUS - It's owl-mazing!

Excuse me, but did you know your head is on backwards?

Owls cannot swivel their eyes. Instead they Rotate their heads completely around to see straight behind them. This would be great when trying to drive your car in Reverse!

Informational only:

There are over 216 species of owl. They live on every continent except Antarctica. Soft fringes on their wings make their flight essentially silent. A group of owls is called a parliament, but they don't get any more work done than a politician.

Click here to watch an owl rotate its head approximately 270 degrees.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
