I was absolutely shocked to see not just two, but five fully grown Barn Owls emerge from this tiny hole in the dirt. I have no idea how they all fit comfortably in there! Image taken well after sunset.

    Ah these are the owls that look a bit fake and plastic to me because of that too white head. Like awesome alien species.

    Also when you’re a poor owl trying to get by you take what roommates you need. We’re rooting for you owls.

      Is it better or worse when they’re more uniformly white?

        I didn’t know they came that white. That’s really pretty.

          I’m a little weak on differentiating the Tyto owls, but they really run a wide range of colors.

          This is an artistic interpretation, but it covers a wide range of what they can look like.

            Interesting! The dark ones are pretty too. Dark critters don’t always get enough love.

              I find the Sooty to be especially magical. It’s like staring into the night sky itself.

              That Red Owl I’m less familiar with, but that one is quite handsome.

                They’re both pretty. Those big dark eyes. Speaking of night sky, I miss being able to see the Milky Way at night.
