The Owl symbolizes beauty, intelligence,  wisdom, transformation and swiftness.   They warn of difficult times ahead.  The Owl is a foreteller of weather conditions and can be observed to identify changes in environment.   Owls are a reminder to take care with your actions, to think of the future and to love your family.

Pacific Northwest Coast First Nation owl art can be identified by their large forward-facing eyes and ear-holes, a small curved beak, a flat face with a conspicuous circle of feathers around each eye.
