You’re being watched
How curious is it that the birdwatcher, the one who watches, is, in fact, the one being watched themselves? For whenever you watch the abyss, the abyss watches you back: she’s watching, watching the one who watches her.

Alt-text: a photography of a burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) perched behind something out-of-focus, which is occluding her from being fully seen. Only the top of her head is visible, as well as her left eye (right side of the picture), directly gazing at the viewer with a scheming-like, half-opened side-eyed expression.


Hehe. I’m glad I could give you a chuckle. My mind is good for something!
Plus, thanks for the lesson and sharing that yourself. Very interesting!
