They preferred mice to birds or any other food. When on the wing, they would catch rats let out of a cage-trap in the most expert manner. O W L S.

Their beaks and claws are much of the same make, and their eyes are as bright, though much larger and fuller. There are Eagle Owls and Hawk Owls, so called for their resemblance to these birds, who fly by day as well as night, and are equally destructive to game. The night-flying Owls are wonderfully clearsighted and acute of hearing, and their wings are provided with feathers so soft and pliant as to make no noise in striking the air, so that they can...
