TFW the monkeys are stomping around again.
The great horned owls have taken over last year’s red-tailed hawk nest! Chicks may have hatched since they seem to be standing on the nest sometimes instead of constantly brooding. They’ve never nested close by before and it’s been SO DAMN COOL. Hoo-hooing most nights for MONTHS <3

Do you know how hard it is to photograph two large fluffballs at the extreme end of your zoom capability while hiding in a truck so they don't see you?
Worth it.

I always enjoy hearing Great Horned Owls calling & even better—hearing 2 GHOs duetting! Here’s my Perpetual Journal art of 2 GHOs duetting, a Cooper’s Hawk, & a small Mexican Poppy plant.
In my latest blog post I’ve continued my blog mini-series entitled All About Birds. Here’s Part 2 in that series, featuring my art & natural history info:

Right, I got an #AskFedi here: how should you dispose of a wild #OwlPellet ? Somebody (presumably the #GreatHornedOwl that's been heard around here) left a very large one on the porch.
I'm guessing "gloves and green waste" is the easy answer, but I know these things are useful for Owl Science sometimes? So, how would I find out if there was an Owl Scientist who might want the thing?

Oh yeah I guess I do have some owl pictures. (Great horned owls, from a nest I followed in 2020)
Seeing so many amazing owl photos in my feed this morning which can only mean one thing: It's #SuperbOwl Sunday!
Found this Great Horned Superb Owl at Fish Creek Provincial Park on a visit to #yyc a couple of years ago.
