Does this owl habitually order supplies from ACME?

@MeanwhileinCanada 😳 that’s the telltale trail right there 😅

@MeanwhileinCanada can you rephrase it for us Americans who read this as “someone shot an owl,” at first glance? #america sucks rn… thanks, love you, sorry.

I had no idea they hunted snow. Nature is full of surprises

@MeanwhileinCanada That wing imprint looks too perfect to be real.

@AdditionalQuench @MeanwhileinCanada

If that doesn't tip you off, the absence of "take-off" marks probably will! 😉

@AdditionalQuench @MeanwhileinCanada I face planted in snow like this once while skiing: the imprint was recognisably me. Based on that experience, I'd say this imprint looks legit with the difference that the owl did it on purpose.

@brunogirin @AdditionalQuench @MeanwhileinCanada just once ?
Show threadBruno GirinMar 9, 2023
@blackcatranch @AdditionalQuench @MeanwhileinCanada just once when the face planting was so neat that it left a perfect mark. My other face plantings while on skis were... erm... less neat.

@AdditionalQuench @MeanwhileinCanada It's actually the imprint of takeoff. The owl's wings were up went it hit the snow, then downward for takeoff.

This vid shows a nice view of the position of the wings (there are some good videos to watch these days of owls hunting); https://youtu.be/w4OH6gMN6vY

@julescelt01 @MeanwhileinCanada I watched this on tv once, cool show, in fact the memory of those slowmo videos of their kill move was part of my initial skepticism. And slapping the ground on takeoff to make a perfect wing imprint sounds inefficient & unlikely. But it's the internet, so believe whatever possibility you brings you the most joy I suppose.

@MeanwhileinCanada Is there a photo credit to go with? Because, I swear, I have seen this photo posted on Mastodon before and nobody mentioned anywhere specific in Canada. Could just as well have been somewhere in Minnesota a few years ago.

Unlikely, but funnier. 🤣
