Omg, I love this owl! ❤️ I don’t think I’ve seen it before.

Very sad. There has to be better ways to control rodent populations that would not harm other wildlife.
Yes, please do. I know this is mostly meant to be a happy place full of awesome owl photos, but sad stories can be compelling too.
Glad to see this Barn Owl made a full recovery. ❤️
She looks so startled! ❤️
This is an excellent shot of the little Screechie!
Great article. I don’t think there is a right choice in this situation. Too many things about the environment have been altered and it is now survival of the fittest.
Leucistic birds are very interesting. There was a leucistic goldfinch on my feeder a few years ago. They are just kind of washed out looking.
So many cool birds! Sonny is very pretty. He looks so soft!
Can confirm about Red-tailed Hawks being massive. We get one in the yard occasionally, usually eating a squirrel. Which is cool and gross at the same time.
Haha, exactly what I was thinking!
The for real life Hammerbarn!
Poor thing. 9 days is a long time. I don’t even like to spend 15 minutes in those places.
It’s pretty crazy to think they could cut a hole in the tree with a chainsaw and not disturb the owls.
This was a good read. It makes me wonder how much of these documentaries are staged. They often have beautiful cinematography, but probably the animals would be better off without humans in their remote habitats. I suppose they do help bring in conservation dollars, like he said, but at what cost? Perhaps some of the conservation would not be needed if we weren’t traipsing through animals’ homes to make a movie!
Also, that’s a great shot of the Barred Owl at the end of the article! Just the kind of lucky circumstances that makes photography fun.
I’m really enjoying these articles you’ve posted lately. I like cool owl pics, too, but it’s nice to have a bit of discussion beyond “I love that shot!”
There was this recipe my mom got from a magazine like Country Living or Women’s Day or something called “Garden Skillet”. It was shell noodles with sautéed onions, zucchini, stewed tomatoes, and Campbell’s cheese soup. I hated it. I’d try to scrape the cheese stuff off the zucchini and eat that and as few noodles as possible. I have never tried to recreate it. 🤢
There’s a pinned post on r/legoleak. (Not sure if ok to post Reddit links…)
The Medieval Blacksmith set was the one I was going to suggest! That is a good choice. Also, they are retiring it at the end of the year, so if you want it, get it soon.
Anyone else plan to use this as a Rohan stand-in? I’m thinking of changing the water to grass and adding horses.
You might want to stick to young adult stuff. It will have less objectionable content, I think. As for a real suggestion try Sabriel by Garth Nix and if you like it there are others in the series.
