Eurasian Scops Owl (0tus scops) on Sardinia, Italy
If you think he is out there, check out this little Oriental Bay Owl. He looks out of this world!
He’s high on my list of 250+ favorite owls! Nothing else looks like it.
Imagine being the first human to encounter one of those in a dark forest.
And the spooky sounds calling back and forth on a dark night!
There’s no shortage of cultures where owls are cryptids or gods, and it’s no surprise. Even today, they can fill us with both wonder and unease.
Woo… wooohooo… can’t be a coincidence that classic ghost noises sound exactly like owl calls.
First look at that picture, I thought it was wearing a dark green beret.
Surprised French Owl, has had too much cafe time.
Oh it does almost look like a little cap!
It reminds me of the phrygian hat from the Olympics this year.
