Oh wow that's a good one! I wasn't sure what the little spot on the tree was, I kept looking at the top of the tree lol! Thanks for sending me this :) I had no idea owls could be so orb-shaped lmao!

Here's how much difference the eyes can make as well.

Another crazily camouflaged owl!

Yes, it has been hiding in plain sight for months.

I kept wondering if I had posted this pic before, but it looks to be the one I used as my profile pic for the last few months. It's nice to know who took the picture now.

JetpackJackson ,

Agreed. It's always nice to be able to find out who took the picture, what their story behind it is, or how they found the owl, etc

Maruki_Hurakami ,

That camouflage is impressive!

JetpackJackson ,

I had to look twice, and then I really looked at how detailed the patterns on the feathers are... Nature is crazy!

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I really like how it matches both the inner and outer bark of the tree here.

As tiny as it is in person, you'd never know it was there.

JetpackJackson ,

Exactly, we can see it cause the image is a close up and we're looking for it (the owl). Would be neat to try and look at wider-scale pictures to play "Spot the Owl" lol!

I am Grhoot!

Dang, that owl is out there showing up all our camo.

I wish there was a follow up with its eyes closed so it was even stealthier.

Kind of a tangent, but I saw this, and thought, "oh I should send this to anon6789 somehow or post it on superbowl..." Then I looked at where this was and who posted it lmao! Very interesting story, I'm glad the owl was able to be rescued.

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I saw it a few days ago, and I save things I think will get more attention for the weekends, and I was so nervous someone would beat me to sharing this one!

If any of you ever see anything interesting though, feel free to share it here or send me a link. I don't have the exclusive rights to owl stories or anything. I'm always curious to see what things you guys find interesting as well.

JetpackJackson ,

Will do! I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled :3

@Chetzemoka@lemmy.world avatar

Ok, I know some country folks, and I can picture trying to deposit a chicken or maybe even a cow. But what on earth possessed this person to think an owl had financial value lol?

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it was one of those challenges where you start with something worthless like a paperclip and keep trading up until you have something valuable?

@Chetzemoka@lemmy.world avatar

White elephant game, we called that one when I was a kid lol

Heck yeah Flammy Friday!

Perfect time to share this great video I found on YouTube this week: https://youtu.be/JB28cZaqu5U?si=PYi-c0B7M23jVWsS&t=11m45s

Turns out our Flammy makes the dorkiest little "honk" sound and it cracks me up. His hoot is pretty adorable though.

More sounds of other North American owls in this vid as well!

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

That's a good hoot!

I was reading one story before of a person out looking for owls and there were dozens of them along the side of the road, and they weren't able to see them, but they said the hooting was just going all up and down the road. That would have been something to hear!

The bestest boy 🥰🤘🏽

@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I love seeing how his popularity has stuck around!

I was expecting the guy depositing and owl in the bank post to be a big hit, but Flammy here is beating it almost 2:1 right now.

Since the runway Superb Owl competition, I've read everything I can on our fabulous Flammulated friendos and have even played one in an RPG since. Little bark ninjas 🤩

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

That is awesome!

With a year's worth more awareness of him may be able to get him into the finals this year. He ran a good game against the famous Snowy for an owl nobody knew about beforehand.

littlebluespark ,
@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

Truly! What a champ! Nowadays, his RPG analog is running an import project with some entrepreneurial tooth fairies in the Feywild, so there's that. 🤪

Lol you never know what an owl will get into next!
