What is that shrill screech that breaks the silence of the night? High above us, perhaps a barn owl is gliding through the darkness. The eerie, almost ghostly sound works on the imagination, precisely because these night hunters are rarely seen. Their world begins when ours comes to rest. Put on warm clothes and step into sturdy shoes, because we are heading into the night together. As shadows grow longer and every rustle takes on meaning, I will tell you how barn owls hunt silently and know how to survive in our changing nature. And who knows, if the darkness is favorable to us, we might suddenly see white wings light up and time will stand still for a moment.
