Owl Eyes & Ears

We had a most interesting person visit the Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association booth at the Saskatoon Exhibition Art Showcase today. She is a vet working at the university and she was full of interesting facts.

Did you know that you can see the back of an owl's eyeball when you look into his ear?  And that you can shine a light into the eye you can see it shining out of the ear.  I got home and "googled" this - it is true! http://tinyurl.com/m448rlk

Did you know that birds' eye pupils do not dilate automatically as ours do? Birds can control that themselves.

Who knew?  She expressed an interest in visiting us at our Reflections Art Festival this October. Hope she makes it - she could entertain us all for hours!
