Owl Photography Competition

Did you know that owls not only "hoot" but also whistle, snort and hiss? I found this out when reading about the photography competition held by the International Festival of Owls.

The Festival is held in Houston, Minnesota, USA each year and in 2016 it runs from 4 - 6 March.
