Oklahoma.

It was really strange because there is zero blood and it is a mostly enclosed back door area. After a bit of searching I found the culprit. I left the 1/2 rabbit there and it was gone in the morning.

Seems to be a smaller owl than the one I saw the other week. Another owl is near by can hear them hoo-hooing at one another. So calming and peaceful to listen to. Wish I knew where the other one was. *Los Feliz

The first one’s very serious face always makes me laugh, and then for the rest, I’m in awe of the creativity and detail. I hope you enjoying seeing them for yourself in person if you’re ever in DC or my video tour and can leave a like on the latter!

I’ve been hearing these GHOs (and their babies) since moving here. Only once did I see an owl within the last 3 years in the yard, yet almost every night I would hear a GHO or Screech. This being the fifth owl sighting here this year, it seems they’ve finally started getting used to us being around!

Didn’t see them last month and thought they had moved on. Stopped by tonight and they were back in their regular tree.

one of my favorites to photograph, the northern pygmy owl!

if so for long

thank you for your time

My first evening of Northern Saw-whet Owl banding. We netted 4 owls last night and installed legbands on all of them. This gal in the photo flew away shortly after we opened the release box. We put them in the box so they can re-acclimate to the dark before flying off. We could have probably tagged a few more but we had to shut down one of our netting stations, because a Barred Owl was detected in the area.

This was taken in May 2022, still one of the mosr fantastic owl sightings I've had. Not the best quality photo, since I only had my phone and they were quite high up.

They lived on a trail I frequented and so I got to see them grow. Hope they are still doing well :)
