Winged Portraitures :: Múkaro :: Barn Owl (5x7)
In the Taíno language owls are called múkaro. As the language was spoken less and less over the decades, people of Spanish speaking decent now refer to the night bird as búho.
This piece is perfect for a small gift to someone who enjoys the mysteries of the owl. Made with indigenous hands, I hope you enjoy as I much I did making it.
A little poem:
we got a fascination with the moon,
look there it goes,
will i go weak not knowing it’s light?
nah, imma fly high and find her and me
then be one in a tree.

About the barn owl
Medium-sized owl with a heart-shaped facial disc and deep dark eyes; the only Tyto owl present throughout much of its range. Varies across a wide global range, but always note white-and-black speckling on the upperparts, beautiful gray-and-tawny wings, and large round head. Color of the facial disc and underparts varies from pure white to rusty orange. Hunts primarily rodents in open areas by night, foraging with a slow and buoyant flight. Roosts in old buildings, tree hollows, caves, and nest boxes by day. Its call is a bone-chilling, rising shriek. (source: ebird.org)
