Page 1 of a double spread of birds on the farm. Owls seem to always look very wise - like maybe they are thinking about something more than their next meal.
Great photos, I like the one with the blue sky background. Your title made me think of that famous line from Twin Peaks - the owls are not what they seem
Owls are indeed very mysterious. I don't see many around where we are as they tend to be extremely reclusive, but it always seems like they have a secret agenda.
