By the way, if you’re not plugged into the birdwatching community in your area and would like a way to find out if there are unusual birds around, eBird is a great resource. You can get email alerts about rare bird sightings in your region. I get a daily email with a list of rare bird sightings in my county, which is how I found out about the snowy owls.

Maman Harfang des neiges en mode garde du corps, bébé bien calé dans la fourrure de plumes, les yeux mi-clos de bonheur… 🤍🦉
On sent le vent glacé, la neige partout, mais sous ce manteau blanc, c’est chauffage central et sécurité absolue. La tendresse version Grand Nord.

As Christmas orders are now closed, I'm going to post some pieces that I have sold in the past. A wee trip down memory lane.

Oh dear!
I see the whole "#SpottedOwl" Right-Wing hysteria from the 1990's coming back over this.
(Most) #Republicans are devoid of #empathy (while extolling #Jesus... a brown-skinned Middle Eastern man who tells them to "welcome the stranger" & "care for the poor"), mocking inconveniencing people for the benefit of "some stupid birds".
Poppy #Bush even made the "controversy" part of his campaign. 😒
