Community Rules - Lemmy.World

I added rules to the sidebar. I’d prefer to keep the wildlife rescue links at the top, but for now, I think the rules should be prominent. I’ll move them to the bottom in a couple weeks or so. I tried to keep the rules simple and straightforward. I hope they help keep this community a friendly, welcoming place to goof on owls. ---------- Community Rules: Posts must be about owls. Especially appreciated are photographs (not AI) and scientific content, but artwork, articles, news stories, personal experiences and more are welcome too. Be kind. If a post or comment bothers you, or strikes you as offensive in any way, please report it and moderators will take appropriate action. AI is discouraged. If you feel strongly that the community would benefit from a post that involves AI you may submit it, but it might be removed if the moderators feel that it is low-effort or irrelevant.

Saw Whet a little lost at Mount Washington Observatory - Lemmy.World

Yesterday on Mount Washington, MWOBS Summit Interns Frank and Peter discovered a small owl shivering in the snow while taking their daily snow stake measurements. Its eyes were frozen shut and it was icing up in snowy, foggy, and windy conditions. With the help of NH State Park staff, our birding enthusiast volunteer Wendy, and lots of other input, we took our friend inside to warm up before NH State Park staff was able to take him/her down with their shift change to get them to NH Fish & Game. We hope our Northern Saw-Whet Owl friend lives a long and healthy life not at the Home of the World’s Worst Weather! While no longer on the mountain, please comment any name suggestions below to commemorate our little friend’s eventful trip to Mount Washington!
