YOUNG OWL

Albrecht Durer. An Owl, 1508.

Owls are nocturnal predators. They only come out at night. Cryptic owl mythology stems from this dark inclination. The Native Americans believed the owl connected to death and the beyond. The owl was a foreboding symbol in the TV show Twin Peaks. In the program, the owls were the eyes of the evil spirit, Bob. Durer's owl is just a young one, but the black eyes and talons seem to convey a hidden menace. But some owls are pretty mellow. Like the dude named Blind Owl from the band Canned Heat. He sang On the Road Again. Awesome Blind Owl Youtube Clip. "Blind Owl used to sleep outside, so he could be closer to nature and often carried plant samples around with him in his pockets. He loved to read books on botany and ecology."
