You mean Mckinowly?
That owl is so gorgeous it looks fake! 😮❤️
I think we have a little enhancement in post, but otherwise it just looks like glorious natural beauty.
Glad to see you pop up, I was just thinking I hadn’t seen you in a while yesterday!
Boys, I think we got us a contender for OotY here.
I was surprised he didn’t make the cut last time. I always find them very classy looking. Perhaps too serious for broader appeal.
Wow!!
I like how regal it looks on the dark blue background.
Yes, the added contrast from the black stripes on the sides of their face make it stand out very nicely and regally.
