My first encounter photographing a Screech Owl!

      Though most articles only mention the tremendous strength of the GHO, I did find this care guide for Screech Owls saying to always wear gloves, as the talons can go through a fingernail, so it’s probably worse on the meaty bits. 😮

          There’s a lot I’d do just to say I had the experience, but even I don’t think I’d intentionally go for that one!

    Why did I see a tiny, muscular orange man?

      Has the same complexion as The Thing! 😁

      The fact that gesture is quite similar to the Screechian Nerve Pinch has led to many troubles between owl and rodent kind over the years.

      I’m glad you enjoyed it!

      I like the interesting lighting.

      And now I can’t get Justin Hawkins’ voice out of my head - and the image of him wearing a spandex outfit. Shudder

      I’d much rather run into this owl than that one! 😯

    this face is either “hello, neighbor” or “HALP? Please?”

    either way, be sure to wave back in the future.
