For a moment I thought those brown leaves were holly berries and thought that this was picture perfect.
Still perfect though. Christmas!
That is really really impressive. Even if people go into the field for years being able to just pick out what the right signs are and therefore where to look for the best success isn't that easy. Kudos to the guy.
It's terrible that awful person who raised him illegally.
That is a magnificent leaf though. Very charming. 5 hoots.
It's impressive that he can be so consistent with it and presumably isn't using any cheats like baiting with food. Do the owls see him as this affable neighbour who keeps trying to call them to hang out or an annoying friend that can go away if they just strut their stuff?
Either way it's pretty neat.
What a well deserved win and a well organised event. May the Saw Whet fly us into the new year with as much of its adorable cuteness as possible.
Let's do the wing dance. Everybody do the wing dance!
When you're an amateur photographer, these kind of opportunities must be like digging up gold. Just the best.
Ahahaha. I imagine the many companies with owl in their name does mess up your search.
It's why generic names are the worst. I don't care if your company name is a complete nonsense word as long as it's unique and easy to search up.
For a moment I thought we had a rare owl with blue feathers. Nope, just christmas lights.
Still frigging adorable though. Top tier Christmas content.
The owly officer I will stop for.
This is so freaking adorable.
Awww. That face looks so slightly surprised and gently nervous. Just so cute. Hope it recovers well.
Went to a small sanctuary. Saw three types of owls. See photos below as my first humble contribution to this community. It was nice to see cool owls. Shitty photos though, sorry. But they were cool. The ~~burrowing~~barking owl was just the cutest little thing.
Awww. You're the best. Merry Christmas to you too if you celebrate. May the day be the kind you want.
