Will someone please describe how the plates work on an owls face/skeletal structure because the anatomy refs I have show everything but those and it would be helpful to understand their facial construction.

What do you mean by plates? Are you asking about the feathers?

When you look at a barn owl's skeleton it shows the skull and beak but not where the beak actually shows because the facial structure isn't tight around the skull itself- I was under the impression that they had "plates" of some kind toward the front of the face????? not sure...

Owls have a crazy amount of feathering on their faces that helps create the flat, disc-like shape which in turn helps with their hearing. To look at a Barn Owl's skull [ [link] ], it looks similar to a hawk's skull. The feathering is what makes the difference in shape. Whereas the Red-tail has very short contour feathers on its face, the owl's facial feathers are much longer.
