Description

O is for Owl by Joan Stratton - A lifelike hand drawn illustration of a pair of Barking Owls (found on the Cape York, Queensland) aka the Winking Owls. A nocturnal bird species native to mainland Australia and parts of Papua New Guinea and the Moluccas. They are a medium-sized brown owl and have a characteristic voice with calls ranging from a barking dog noise to a shrill human-like howl of great intensity.

Early settlers were startled to discover that the owl is also capable of making a very different call. Pioneers were occasionally awoken by the terrified screams of a woman being brutally murdered in the bush — at least that’s what it sounded like. However, instead of mayhem, it was simply the alarm call of the Barking Owl, which may be repeated at intervals of several seconds or several minutes. (birdlife.org.au)

Barking Owls are found in open woodlands and the edges of forests, often adjacent to farmland. They are less likely to use the interior of forested habitat. They are usually found in habitats that are dominated by eucalyptus species, particularly red gum, and, in the tropics, paperbark species.

These detailed real life illustrations take me may long days to complete. There are a number of works in the series.

First drawn for my Grow With Joe Children’s Books – Minnamoolka Series Book 4 Kia’s Animal Alphabet, there are a number of works in the series.
