Owls can also carry more negative connotations, depending on the context.
In “What an Owl Knows,” Ackerman explains that the “new science” she refers to in her subtitle has required technological innovations: cameras, drones, DNA analysis, satellite transmitters.
“Finding owls is hard,” a naturalist and photographer tells Ackerman, stating a simple truth from which many complications follow.
Another researcher, who has encountered hundreds of owls, says, “It was still magic to me every time we found one, because they’re so well camouflaged and so shy.” There are some 260 species of owls spread across every continent except Antarctica.
But it turns out that the owl’s closest relatives are a group of birds that are active in the daytime, including toucans and woodpeckers.
