Owl long legs

When I saw the meme above I was amazed to know that owls have these long spindly legs under their feathered skirts, did you know that? This link also has interesting facts about their eyes being tubular in nature designed to hunt prey as opposed to being round. And did you know that their heads can spin 270 degrees?

Sunday Sketches - Owls

I did a pair of owls for Sunday Sketches today. Acrylic (6" x 6") on cardstock.  I chose a dark background, remembering they are nocturnal, and come out at night.
