Owls

“The clamorous owl,

that nightly hoots and wonders

at our quaint spirits” Shakespeare

Fly over fields

With graceful charm. Catch the vermin

That do men harm.

Over dusty lane

In the dead of night

She sails the air

In a silent flight

The ancient cry

With cricket chorus

Everyone but mice

Adore us

Watch

Thy time will come

The charm of the owl is magnified by a new study: An Australian bird lover, Mr. F. F. Silcock, declares that a few barn owls (Tyto Alba), on rare occasions, glow with intrinsic bioluminescence. In his book, The Min Min Light (The Visitor Who Never Arrives), he shows that the behavior and the habitat of barn owls relates to the mysterious lights called “Min Min” in Australia and “Will ‘O The Wisp” in England. He interviewed many eyewitnesses, some of whom give testimony evidence that the strange lights are actually glowing barn owls. The book makes a strong case for that conclusion: bioluminescent owls.

The Birds of Shakespeare

“The owl plays a large part in Shakespeare’s references to bird-life. He does not discri-minate between the different members of the large family . . .”
