A difficult draw to try and get the proportions of these weird Birds correct.

You wouldn't expect them to have such long beaks really buried under that facial disk. However it serves a special purpose, the facial disk is shaped in such a way that it funnels sound up toward the inner ears.

Interestingly the openings for the ears, which sit inside the disk are actually unevenly placed, with one sitting higher than the other. Because of the way they are situated the difference in sound allows the owls to pick up on precise locations of animal calls and movement.

Thier eyes are highly adaptable to light, detecting even the smallest movements, however sudden increases to light due to thier sensitivity can cause a visual impairment until they readjust. That said studies have shown that Barn Owls can actively catch prey in total darkness using their specialised hearing.
