Snowy owl near the Canadian Rockies

Owls are full of contradictions. Silent wings, loud opinions. They are night hunters that somehow feel ancient. From myths to cartoons, they have always had a presence. Athena"s owl symbolised wisdom, while pop culture gave us lines we still quote—remember Owl from "Winnie-the-Pooh" always sounding sure of himself?
