# Aye.
They reckon it's because the owl has such mega-featherage it contains lots of dust and stuff, so when they slam into glass they leave this ghostly imprint behind.

Love the 'SPLONK' by the way....

# Nothing signifies impact quite like a comic book sound effect.
Ka-thoom was a regular in Hulk comics, and it usually meant he'd punched something so hard all its descendants died.

# Or etch it into the glass itself.
An artist friend did that with her avian window imprints: remove the picture window; carefully acid-etch the imprint for posterity; remount the glass.

Pigeons are very stupid; they finally stopped attempting to fly through the glass after the 4th(!) etched imprint. You'd think they'd learn before then what those pale blotches signified.

# I had one of a starling once on the patio door.
The dust print was so precise you could actually make out the nostrils on the beak.
I'm guessing it's a mixture of dust and feather oils.
