This time of year is a bit slow. Migratory season is coming to an end and nesting season isn’t quite here yet. A lot of what is coming through my feeds looks all the same to me and it’s a bit uninspiring some days.
Are there any birds or topics you’d like to hear about?
You want more rare birds? There isn’t always much to say about them, since there aren’t many photos or facts, so I don’t always cover them much.
Got any anatomy or physiology questions? I like reading about flight, digestion, respiration, etc but most of you seem to enjoy more lighthearted things than technical, but I’m sure some of you have questions.
Is there just some particular owl you’d like to see more of? I usually post new things, but if you just want to see more of something special, I can browse the owl archives. Or is there a part of the world you’d like to know about. South America and Australia I’d say are the least covered recently.
Let me know!
I love all the technical info! I also enjoy learning about owl behaviour, especially when they interact with other species.
I do too! I get they’re cute and amazing on the outside, but I like learning more about what it must feel like to be an owl.
My problem with techy posts cuts 2 ways. They take a long time to do, since I have to dig to find articles, they don’t often just pop up since this stuff is super niche, and then I have to break it down a lot so I can understand it. Then I also feel limited when I can share this stuff here, since it’s going to either be a long post or a technical post, and I don’t know if that is just boring to too many of you or if you just don’t time to read something that in truth through most of the week and then never get back to it, but they get a low vote most times, and it makes me feel like that’s not time well spent.
I try to post them Friday through Sunday when I assume you have more time to read with more concentration. Is this good for you guys?
I have a few detailed documents and research papers bookmarked. I have a big document about Boreal Owls, and I know I have a study about Powerful Owls learning how to cross the road, basically starting to learn how to deal with cats.
