from
Wikipedia
Numerous species of owl in the genus Glaucidium and the Northern Hawk-Owl have eye patches on the backs of their heads, apparently to convince other birds they are being watched at all times.
Numerous nocturnal species have ear-tufts, feathers on the sides of the head that are thought to have a camouflage function, breaking up the outline of a roosting bird.
Hearing in owls is highly sensitive and the ears are asymmetrical allowing the owl to localise a sound.
Contrary to popular belief, however, owls cannot see well in extreme dark and are able to see fine in the day.
