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.
I’ll post a few here, but I don’t want to post all the good ones myself. Hoo were your highlights of the last few weeks?
I try to look really hard at ones like this that look too good. I’m always worried about putting some AI images out as real owls, but they could just be heavily processed.
I’m no photographer or Photoshop/Lightroom guy so it’s hard sometimes for me to tell.
Morepork is New Zealand’s only native owl. They have Barn and Little Owls now too though. Little was introduced on purpose, Barn has snuck over, possibly on ships or airplane landing gear!
Morepork, aka the Ruru, is named after the sound it makes. Look that up if you haven’t heard it before!
One person called it the Ent Owl, which I liked, and another said it looked made of bark and lichen. It really does look like some mythical forest creature made of the earth and trees!
