Owls Are Nocturnal Backyard Visitors.

Throughout history, owls have been associated with wisdom. Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, is often pictured with an owl, a fact that probably led to the burrowing owl being given the scientific (genus) name of Athene. And perhaps because most owls are nocturnal, they are also often associated with magic, which we have seen most recently in the Harry Potter stories. But even though the owl is not as clever as a crow or as magical as the owls in the Potter series, they are fascinating, beautiful birds.
