A 3-week old screech owl took a flying leap at me today and climbed up my chest to sit on my shoulder. She then climbed up my ear with her predatory talons and sat on my head.

How's your Friday going?

Any day you get to look a #barredowl in the eye is a good day.

I saw this one along the #enoriver this afternoon.

Hoffnung für Greifvögel in Walkringen - «Wir haben verlernt, mit Wildtieren zu leben»

Schon als Zwölfjähriger fütterte er Bussarde, heute führt er seine eigene Auffangstation für Wildvögel. Der frühere BKW-Kadermann Mathias Hubacher hat sein Leben auf den Kopf gestellt, um bedrohten Arten zu helfen. Der Gründer und Leiter des einzigartigen Greifenhofs blickt auf die bewegten ersten 18 Betriebsmonate zurück und hat Grosses vor. Denn in der Schweiz ist die Vogelwelt besonders bedroht.

“Guess what day it is!!?? The greatest day of the year… Superb Owl Day! 🦉

A day dedicated to admiring owl photos and pretending nothing else important is happening.

Oh wait … it’s also the Super Bowl.

But let’s be honest — Superb Owl Day is clearly the more important event.” - Nicole Seward

“A nice day here in Iowa when you can find and photography a Snowy Owl that is visiting from the north. These beautiful creatures come down from the Arctic and Canada to find food during their harsh winters. They are a challenge to find especially when there is snow on the ground here but in this case it was our lucky day to find her.” - Tim Brandenburg
