Gorgeous. I grew up in 425/206 area code of PNW and I don't think I ever saw one like this.

mstreefrog.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sounds like they’re mainly a winter time visitor and the Internet suggests maybe after 2018 they became seen more often? I’m in Southwest Washington so it’s a 3+ hour drive and I stay at a state park in relative luxury at a cabin to see the winter migrants. 😊

Thanks for the info! Very cool. I miss the proximity to nature that the PNW affords

Love the Owl photos. I’m not a photographer, but this is my favorite Owl photo from my backyard in Minnesota.

That is wonderful!

Reminds me of the saying:

"Though she be but little she is fierce."

(if it's a "she?)

Great shot. Beautiful creature...

mstreefrog.bsky.social•1 day ago

Many of the photographers Wednesday and Thursday referred to the owl 🦉 that afternoon as she, but I’m not certain they knew. Would love confirmation myself. Yes, lovely and fierce. 🥰

How awesome
Thank you for sharing your wonderful photography 😊

mstreefrog.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s been a fascinating journey to get outside and explore the world with a camera. So much farther to go to feel “skilled” but I feel blessed and lucky in the meantime. 😊

faith53.bsky.social•1 day ago

It gives you the opportunity to see different perspectives 😊

It's almost like they have painted on faces! Amazing.

I read from BirdNote this morning that “The facial disk acts as a sound collector — like an old-fashioned ear trumpet — and guides sound to asymmetrically placed ears” Amazing hunters, using excellent hearing!

Cool!
