I hoot at night, a ghost in flight,
Heart-shaped face in the pale moonlight.
With eyes so wide and feathered feet,
My northern home is snowy sweet.
They call me great, and rightly so,
With feathered tufts and a deep echo.
Tiny in size, but fierce in fight,
I stay up hunting all the night.
I’m barred with lines from head to toe,
My haunting call is soft and low.
I wear a mask and like to hide,
In thick, dark woods where shadows glide.
With long thin wings I soar with grace,
My dark eyes match my ghostly face.
I’m not big, I’m not loud,
But I’m wise and very proud.
Look at my eyes, they’re yellow and round,
In boreal forests I’m often found.
I hoot from high in rocky halls,
My name’s quite short but echoes walls.
A tiny screech in desert sand,
With feathered feet and mighty stand.
A flat white face with a piercing look,
In silent flight, no sound I took.
I blend in trees with silent art,
With mottled browns and clever heart.
No horns on me though named that way,
In Asia’s trees I love to stay.
Found in Africa, swift and sly,
I fish at dusk and glide so high.
Named for saws I do not use,
But hear me screech and you might lose!
I hide in burrows down below,
Unlike my kin, I rarely show.
My call is long and sounds like song,
In Asia’s woods I glide along.
I dine on fish and fly with pride,
Beside cool streams, I like to hide.
My face is round, my eyes are black,
With Arctic snow upon my back.
I wear a crown with feathery tips,
And fly through night on silent trips.
You’ll find me in the eastern land,
With short tuft ears and strong wingspan.
My eyes are red, my look is stern,
In Africa’s trees I twist and turn.
I chirp and squeal more than I hoot,
My feathers soft, my steps are mute.
From India’s woods I make my mark,
With spots and stripes and hoots so dark.
