Owls that pause in the early light are more like sentries than birds of prey. They’re checking the air for trouble before they commit. If the wind changes, the owls change their pattern. So yeah, keep an eye on the critters. They’re better at reading the world than any weather report we’ve got. If a bunch of owls start drifting sideways, you can expect a gust before your tent’s next flap. Just remember the sky isn’t a crystal ball – it’s a mirror.
