    Did you know that there are more than 150 species of owls in the world? Some counts indicate that there are more than 220 species of owls depending on how different owls are classified? Owls also have a flattened facial disk that funnels sound to the bird’s ears. Sounds are magnified as much as 10 times to help the owl hear noises humans can’t detect. Humans are threatening these great animals with habitat loss and pesticides that poison the birds.

    It was a dark and spooky night and I was all alone in the old hotel bed. I tried to go to sleep, but I was too scared! My friends had told me too many stories about staying at this hotel, but I wanted to stay here anyways. All of a sudden I heard a rustling sound on the floor. I covered my head with the blanket in fear!
