How Can an Owl Fly So Quietly?

An owl's soft, fringed feathers reduce wing noise, helping it hunt at night without warning small animals.

The whole story

1. At sunset, Nola perched on a pine branch and stretched her wings. Tonight, she wanted to catch her first supper alone.

2. She swooped over the meadow toward a pale-gold moth. Rustling leaves warned it, and the moth slipped behind a blue flower.

3. Nola landed on a low branch and listened to the night. Even her feathers whispered when she turned.

4. She bent one wing toward the moon. Along each flight feather, the edge looked like a tiny comb.

5. Nola spread her wings again, letting the soft fringes meet the air first. The grass below barely moved.

6. A pale-gold moth rested on a fern. Nola held her wings still above it, and the moth did not lift its wings.

7. Nola landed beside the fern without a sound. Her talons closed gently around the moth, and she carried supper home.

8. An owl's soft, fringed feathers reduce wing noise, helping it hunt at night without warning small animals.
