Owls are symbols of wisdom because they look so thoughtful and serious. Since they can see in the dark, they represent seeing through the darkness of ignorance. Some believe if a pregnant woman hears an owl hoot, she will have a girl. Others believe that the screech owl only calls when rain is on the way.
