I was playing along
but while we're in wildlife documentary mode: the wing feathers of normal birds are stiffened for the job of flight, the rustling/air beating noise is easily picked up with a reasonably large bird winging past overhead. The owl's flight feathers have a downy coating which does indeed reduce noise.
We need HoHun back for this one, he was a bit of an ornithologist, wasn't he?
yes Colin you were and did a good job!.. nice graphic.
There was a bird show back home where a Asian Eagle owl would fly through the audience, the thing was HUGE. Once it's wings went right by my head and i didn't hear a thing!... wonderful!
