Owls have human-like, forward facing eyes. They are active at night and spend most of their waking time on hunting for food. In the darkness, owls don’t soar like eagles or hawks but rather fly low to the ground as they look for prey, from insects and small rodents to smaller birds and fish.

In Da Nang, owls can be seen in forests.

Our freelance photographer Hong Huy captures the mysterious beauty of owls in stunning photos.
