This bird is a whole mood
Lol owls are the total package!
A real cutie. Only the top pic gives Samara from The Ring vibes...
I didn't know what it says for my sense of taste, but my girlfriend thought that pic was creepy too.
I think it looks very bashful and like it's enjoying a nice breeze. Perhaps I'm just mad with social queues. 😅
It has a very mad scientist in the gusts of a storm look, I'd say
Ooo, it needs some lightning bolts!
It's aliiiive!
Superbowl!
Fish owls are some of the superbiest of all!
This looks like the inspiration for the newer version of nite owl from watchmen
It would be a great look for a non-satirical Nite Owl!
I do like the movie costume a lot though, even if it is (purposely) derivative.
I smile every time I think of his airship, Archie. It's also great as an owl themed vehicle, yet it also looks like a potato, so it makes me chuckle to myself.
Bring new meanings to "a-fish-owl photographer" I hope he/she is paid well.
😆
They deserve it. It isn't easy to get to where many of these owls live, and then once you get there, then you need to find them!
I'm sure there's a good number of hours invested in each shot.
Yeah. The best wildlife photographers are normally cold, wet or bitten all over.
Ntaaawww, so sleepy..
Being an owl is a busy job!
When I first saw the eyes they looked so very creepy. After realizing they were pretty eyelids it looks very sweet.
Ah, that makes sense. I didn't think about it that way.
I'm glad it won you over in the end!
Another BFO! Why does it seem like every fish owl is named after something starting with B?
Yes, we got Blakiston, Brown, and Buffy...but there is also Tawny!
That's it for the Ketupa genus, but if we go into the fish-ing owls of Scotopelia, we get the Pel's, Roufus, and Vermiculated Fishing Owls!
