Superb Owl Sunday - First Sunday in February

Note: Superb Owl Sunday is the 2nd Sunday in February starting in 2023.

Today is Superb Owl Sunday! It's a day to celebrate how superb owls are. (Apparently a football league has repositioned a couple letters as the inspiration for their championship game, but obviously this is of secondary importance to owls.)

Most owls are the "night shift" of predatory birds, though it's not unheard of for some to be active in daylight. A Snowy Owl that's visited Central Park was definitely a superb owl. Here are a couple education owls residing at The Raptor Trust in central New Jersey.

A former bird rehabber a little further away, the Delaware Valley Raptor Center, also has superb owls living with them.
