A Visual Studio Code theme for the night owls out there. Fine-tuned for those of us who like to code late into the night. Color choices have taken into consideration what is accessible to people with colorblindness and in low-light circumstances. Decisions were also based on meaningful contrast for reading comprehension and for optimal razzle dazzle. ✨
As of 1.0.0, there’s a Light Owl Theme too! Color balanced from the Dark version for easy viewing in daylight.
About this theme, and some of the considerations made while creating it (as well as how to create it should you want to make your own): https://css-tricks.com/creating-a-vs-code-theme/
Night Owl
Habitat and Habits
Adult Great Horned Owls are formidable predators and have few natural enemies, though some may be killed or seriously injured when attacking large-size prey. It is, for instance, common to find these owls riddled with porcupine quills or reeking of skunk scent. There are accounts of Great Horned Owls attacking snakes and coming off second best. Crows and magpies frequently harass or “mob” roosting owls during the daytime, but this can be scarcely more than a minor annoyance.
Unique characteristics
Young Great Horned Owls normally do not move far from the area in which they were born: over 90 percent of nestlings that have been banded and later recovered moved less than 80 km.
Range
The Great Horned Owl is found in virtually all of the forested and semi-forested regions of North, Central, and South America, except on the islands of the Caribbean. A close relative, the Eagle Owl, is native to Europe, North Africa, and central Asia.
With no need to make the seasonal migrations that carry other birds from the Arctic Ocean to the Straits of Magellan and back again, Great Horned Owls are likely to be year-round residents of limited hunting ranges of about 8 to 10 km 2 , throughout their vast region. Such adaptation by a species is truly remarkable and has few parallels in ornithology.
Feeding
Because they are both large and powerful, Great Horned Owls are capable of handling a wide variety of prey, ranging in size from shrews and songbirds to skunks and geese. As a general rule, however, the Great Horned Owl mainly depends upon medium-size mammals and birds, at least in Canada and the United States where its food habits are well documented. Rabbits and hares are a staple part of the diet in many regions, and grouse and ducks are also important prey. When mice or voles are abundant, as they are every three or four years, owls consume large numbers of them.
The Great Horned Owl hunts mostly between dusk and dawn, and its night vision and hearing are acute. Like other owls, it can approach its prey in total silence thanks to specializations of the flight feathers. As well as being a silent hunter, this owl is swift, and its talons are effective weapons.
It swallows small prey whole, but dismembers larger prey before eating them. Fur, feathers, teeth, and bones that are indigestible are compacted in the owl’s stomach and later regurgitated, or brought up, as “pellets.” One or more of these may be expelled daily, depending upon the volume and type of food eaten. Scientists obtain information on the food habits of owls by identifying the remains of prey animals in such pellets.
