Owl-natomy: the power to not smell things
Raptors have a very poor sense of smell, with the exception of the turkey vulture. Many can only smell what is already in their mouth, and some not really even then. That allows these birds, like our Great Horned Owl depicted here, to chow down on things others pass by, like skunks.
