With its wings spread wide, this owl glides majestically through the night sky. Unlike our Owl at Night design, which shows a perched owl, this Owl in Flight coloring page is all about the impressive flying skills of these birds. You can print it for free and start coloring right away.
The big, detailed wings give plenty of space for artistic feather patterns, while the body and characteristic ear tufts offer finer details to color.
Why owls fly so silently
Owls are among the quietest fliers in the entire animal kingdom. Their feathers have special comb-like edges that break up the airflow, preventing the typical flight noises other birds create. Their feathers are also velvety soft, which dampens sound even further. This built-in "sound-proofing" lets owls approach their prey completely undetected.
