A request by @verdeviento for some more info on talons....

Mainly just curious to see how many non-US people we have. I know some languages have more than one word for owl....

WINNER: WHITE FACED SCOPS OWL 125-99...

With a final score of 125-99, it is clear that White Faced Scops in your choice for the first ever SuperbOwl Owl of the Year! WFS will in the near future be our new community icon, and Snowy, Screech, and Buffy will share the banner. We’ll come up with some good ideas and see what looks best and get that taken care of....

WINNER BY DECISION: FLAMMULATED OWL 55-55 (I saw that one downvote!) For Flammy to hold out for 24 hours against GHO I feel is the greater challenge, and the last 4 votes had 3 go to Flammy....

WINNER: SNOWY OWL 85-70...

WINNER: LITTLE OWL 67-57...

You have probably been visited many times and haven’t even known. Owls are in every continent but Antarctica, from the deep forest and jungle, to the biggest cities, and from the highest mountains to the desert. But why don’t I see them?...

Now that I’m not in the middle of having a very crap first day back at work and have come up with a workaround for image uploads, I’ll go more into my visit with this little cutie pie....

There were a lot of owl specimens on display at the museum. Primarily, I enjoyed it for the ability to compare the sizes between the species I haven’t seen in person yet....

WINNER: SAW WHET OWL 56-27...

Somewhat clickbait headline, but this is the last owl for me to come to appreciate in an aesthetic way. I at least want to give it the courtesy of sharing it with you all, and maybe the skeptics among us can find something in this owl....

I normally don’t post goofy stuff, but I’m finding Australian local news has a very dry and self depricating humor I enjoy....

WINNER: FLAMMULATED OWL 55-52...

I know many of you fell for some new owls and enjoyed many of the pics of the ones you’ve already loved. I’m curious to see which photos you thought were the best. If you’d like, share a pic or two from the contest that really caught your attention....

Birds don’t get “pregnant” , because the birdy babies don’t develop inside the mother. Instead, birds are “gravid” when they are carrying an egg....

WINNER: BUFFY FISH OWL 62-57...

So, our mod dragonfly came to me a while ago, and asked if I had anything planned for February. Not being a sports person, at first I thought they were referring to Valentine’s Day, but then I figured out they meant the Super Bowl! 🤦...
