15 Stunning Examples Of Owl Camouflage

ADVERTISEMENT

When owls hunt, they use their silent wings and the cover of night to capture their prey. During the day, however, they have tremendously successful camouflage that helps them stay hidden from daytime predators. Can you find the owls in ALL of these images?

It’s astounding how well these owls’ feathers help them blend in with their surroundings, but that’s not all they do. Owls can puff themselves up or slim themselves down as needed to match various elements of their environment and avoid detection.

Some of these images have been retouched to increase the camouflage effect.

No wonder I rarely see them. I have, out in the open, along a stretch of I-79 in Erie County, Pennsylvania; hear them at night, at home.

I've seen 2 of them this weekend, in the forest. 1 white. 1 brown. But I confess: only when they were flying away, hearing my bike.
