Owls are known for their ability to fly silently, because they need to approach fast-moving prey very quietly. To do this, owls have wide wings, which allows them to fly and minimize the number of flaps, which are mainly what creates the noise from a flying bird. In addition, many species of owls have special feathers that allow them to flap almost silently.

Long-eared Owl (Asio otus)
Much is made of whether particular species of Owls are nocturnal or diurnal but the truth is much more nuanced. Most species are most active during periods of low light but can make exceptions in pursuit of prey, particularly when feeding young. Some owls that live in the Arctic must hunt when the sun is up but even these species tend to hunt when there is less light. The Long-eared Owls is a good example of an owl referred to as nocturnal that will frequently hunt at dusk and dawn and sometimes even during the middle of the day.
You can learn more about when each species is most active in the book, “Owl: A Year in the Lives of North American Owls.

The Short-eared Owl lives in Northern Europe, Asia, America, the Caribbean, Hawaii (where it is the only owl) and the Galapagos Islands. Most of the population lives in Russia, Scandinavia, and the United Kingdom. The species consists of nine subspecies. A characteristic feature of the barn owl is its nesting method. The bird builds its house on the ground. The dwelling is a trampled plot of land among tall grass or dense shrubbery.

Instead of seven vertebrae in the neck, as is the case with birds on average, owls have twice as many. But 14 vertebrae in the neck are not all improvements. They have a number of physiological features that allow them to survive such a fast and sharp turn of the head. For example, additional blood vessels supply blood to the head when the blood circulation through the normal system stops due to the angle of the head. In addition, the vessels lie in special air layers that preserve the integrity of the arteries at the time of a sharp turn of the head.
