Barn Owl Did you know? Barn Owl s are virtually silent in flight due to their soft fringe-edged feathers that don't "swoosh" as they move. Because of this, throughout history, barn owls have been known by many different nicknames, such as 'ghost owl', 'church owl' and 'screech owl'. But the name 'demon owl', in particular, illustrates how they were considered by some rural populations - something not so difficult to understand when you hear their piercing shrieks and hissing calls. Prints are available in Monochrome on sale now. Link in bio. #barnowl #barnowlillustration #barnowlartwork #barnowldrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CddvLZfMY8j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
