Owl n. 1. Nocturnal bird of prey.2. A coin first produced by the Athenian tyrant Peisistratus, using silver from the Laurion mines 25 miles south of Athens, in 546 BCE.

Usage

Jorge Suarez once wrote about an encounter he had with a barn owl on a ranch in Venezuela:

"Las chuetas malabuenas mirando la noche y torciendo el cogote en mil puertas giratorias. Las tres al mismo tiempo, gritaban: "carne carne" y luego volaban en un vuelo recortado."

-- Journal excerpt, 1940.
