Eurasian Scops Owl (0tus scops) on Sardinia, Italy
How long will @anon6789@lemmy.world keep posting picture of wood stick before people start to notice?!
Proof that the Flock of Seagulls hairstyle has evolutionary value.
Sexual selection implies that these owls find tree bark sexy on some level
Woah those owls don’t look real, super cool!
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.
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.
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.
Such a good photo, it took TWO photographers to make it.
I’m glad someone picked up on that! I thought it was cute they shared credit.
Was it one to spot, one to get the pic? One is the photographer and the other does the Lightroom? Somebody holds the camera and the other works the shutter? One makes cutesy noises to get it to look at the camera?
So many possibilities!
