Temple athletes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owls

'temple athletes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for owls that I've seen before include "Avian symbols of wisdom" , "Strigiform creatures" , "Nocturnal bird" , "Types incredibly wise" , "Wise old birds - quite slow" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Wall Street Journal.
