If the owls' eyes were closed, they would be completely integrated into the tree trunks. Photographer Graham McGeorge discovered these "masters of camouflage" hiding in natural tree holes and large forests in the Swamp National Park in Georgia, USA. They rest during the day and are active at night. They rely on their big round eyes to quietly lock onto their prey. , and then fly out to hunt for food; if there is danger approaching, it will wrap its body with its wings and pretend to be part of the trunk to avoid the threat.
Graham McGeorge always waits patiently, searches carefully, finds holes and dead wood in the woods, and then stares closely at the tree trunks to see if there are big bright eyes, so that he can detect these little disguised things. "You must never use bait to attract owls. Bait is harmful to their health, and you cannot violate basic ethics just to take pictures." Next time you have a chance to go to the woods, you might as well crack the disguise and try to play "Looking for Owls" Let’s play!
