OWL
A night bird of prey, unfit for food. Several species are found in Palestine, and are mentioned in the Bible; as in Leviticus 11:17 Deuteronomy 14:16 Isaiah 14:23; Isaiah 1:34; Zephaniah 2:14. One of the words, however, translated "owl," probably means "Ostrich," (which see;) and another, Leviticus 11:17 Deuteronomy 14:16 Isaiah 34:11, the ibis or night heron.
