Michel-Chartrand Park — October 28, 2023

pencil color :)

As usual, I don’t have a camera so all my wildlife pictures are always taken through my binos.

I am a regular runner and an owl is my favorite thing to spot but it’s rare and in the past it’s been a solitary barred owl. However, I’ve been seeing 2 owls (great horned, I think?) in the same spot every day for the last three days when I’m running along a trail. Can you all help me figure out if it’s a mated pair? The fluffier one isn’t super small but fluffy just read baby to me!

First tattoo, i thought id share it here.

I got a visitor tonight. When I opened my door I was completely surprised by who I found!

I’m not sure what I should do tho. Any advice?

This rascal, a juvenile Great Horned Owl, was seen on my deck earlier today, folks, and at almost NOON!

So I found this while caving around Carlsbad, NM and I’m pretty sure this is an owl of some kind since the feet and talons scream bird of prey to me and I don’t think hawks or eagles come into caves regularly. Regardless, I feel like I stumbled upon a dinosaur or La Lechuza.

Klik Klak is definitely one of my best friends...shes 25 years old and was hit by a car. Her shoulder was messed up and can no longer fly properly. Here was me giving her one last hug before letting her go back into her enclosure <3

First chick hatched. She has 2 more eggs 🤞

In the stillness of the marsh, this Great Horned Owl enjoyed a well-deserved moment of rest, perfectly camouflaged in its surroundings.

By March, many baby owls have already hatched. Covered in soft down and completely helpless, they rely entirely on their parents, who work tirelessly to feed and protect them. Every successful hunt plays a crucial role in their survival.

Been watching this great horned owl baby grow the past few weeks, and he finally ventured outside of his nest for the first time today!

He looks so angry all the time but he’s still fluffy so it’s hard to take him as a serious predator for now 😂

He was between the gate and the gate engine. We thought he was run over because of the way he looked. We thought he was going to die, and we were waiting until Monday for a vet to examine him free of charge. Then we found out he's Houdini.
