A star in the night and mysterious like the Long Eared Owl.
Owls glide through the night in starlight, absolutely silent and almost invisible. Only their cries can be heard and their traces seen on the next day. Walking through the fields very observantly one can identify the owls sleeping trees and maybe find some, resting there during the day.
