	Snowy Owl This owl is on the Retina Australia Owl badge. They are called snowy owls because their coloring is almost pure white when they are full grown. The feet of snowy owls are covered with feathers and have extra thick pads. Snowy owls have incredible vision. They can see from high up in the sky and swoop down silently to capture their prey. Like all owls they have good night vision. They are nocturnal and diurnal hunt at night but in the Arctic it doesn't get dark in the summer so the owls hunt in the daylight too. When the owl gets food it swallows it whole or tears it into large pieces to swallow. Ask mum or dad if you can buy a Snowy Owl badge to help find a cure for blindness. Buy a Snowy Owl Badge
	Spectacled Owl is on the 2007 Retina Australia fundraising badge. He is largish, earless owl with distinctive white spectacles, on a dark brown facial disk. Dark brown above, yellowish-buff below with broad chocolate coloured chest band and white throat. This fella likes to live in dense tropical and sub-tropical forest, also plantations. He makes a sound like a deep, descending series of knocking notes becoming faster and weaker towards the end. The Spectacled Owl breeds during September-December, in tree cavity. 2-3 eggs incubated for about 35 days. Young leave nest by 6 weeks (usually only 1 survives) but can remain with parents for up to a year. Buy a Spectacled Owl Badge
	Great Grey Owl The Great Grey Owl or Lapland Owl (Strix nebulosa) is a very large owl, distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. Adults have a big, rounded head with a grey face and yellow eyes with darker circles around them. The underparts are light with dark streaks; the upper parts are grey with pale bars. This owl does not have ear tufts and has the largest "facial disc" of any raptor. These birds wait, listen and watch for prey, then swoop down; they also may fly low through open areas in search of prey. Their large facial disks focus sound, and the asymmetrical placement of their ears assists them in locating prey. Buy a Owl Badge
	Great Horned Owl The great horned owl is the most common owl of the Americas, easily recognizable because of the feather tufts on its head. These "plumicorns" resemble horns or, to some, catlike ears. Buy a Owl Badge
