I believe I remember reading that owls use the difference in arrival 
time at the two ears for sound localization. The difference in arrival time
is processed along one branch of the auditory system seperate from the 
processing of other information. Is this the kind of phase data
that you are asking about?

I have a file on owl auditory system that I haven't read for awhile but I
I think I can find it if you want.
