Geocache Description:



 


 

 


Owl, (order Strigiformes), any member of a homogeneous order of primarily nocturnal raptors found nearly worldwide. 

Owls are birds of prey. They belong to the order of Strigiformes and there are at least 200 species. They normally feed on small mammals, insects, and other birds. They do not make nests, instead sheltering inside trees, ground burrows, caves, and barns, or using other birds' old nests.

 

Normally, most British owls are nocturnal, and owls generally keep to themselves, but in the wizarding world they served many needed functions and had many sorts of personalities. Owls also appeared to understand magical people speaking English and could communicate with Wizards and witches.
