Hi CoBird Enthusiasts, I took a video of a Great Horned Owl from my backyard last Sunday which is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6u9K3frkSY
My question is this: what is the rotational movement of the head in a vertical plane called? I understand that owls can't move their eyeballs, thus the tremendous horizontal angular movement as seen in this video. Incidentally, this owl flew to a roost in a blue spruce tree and remained there all day. I was so excited to see it so close to my house in suburban Parker, Colo.
