Very interesting, but a sad ending!

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.

Very sad. There has to be better ways to control rodent populations that would not harm other wildlife.

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!”

I never thought about this! So interesting to think of owls contributing to the fossil record (ish) through pellets.

This would be really nice. ❤️

I loved reading about Flaco this past year. There were so many great pictures of an owl in the big city. 🦉 🌃

I love this! ❤️

Blue Jays are like a gang in my yard. I love them, but they like to scare the other birds away from the feeders and then throw a bunch of seed on the ground looking for the right one. Sigh.

I’m not sure I’d want to get hit. Cool story to tell, but probably scary and potentially painful.

Cool animals though. See how great Snowy Owl is? 😉 if only I’d thought to post propaganda like this a few days ago. I guess there’s always next year.

This was very generous of you! Pretty cool to have the superbowl lemmy community on a plaque, too. 😏

This look! So judgy, lol.

I’m sad Snowy lost, but WFS is truly a superb owl.

Thanks for running this. It was a lot of fun and something to look forward to each day.

I had to vote Elf Owl, but Powerful Owl might have the coolest name of any owl!
