At least he didn't use the ATM

I'm picture it getting sucked in and spit back out repeatedly like a worn bill! 😆

It is rather disconcerting when you think about it how many eyes may be on you at any given time.

Spider Spotting

Spotting spiders at night is really quite easy. Go outside after dark. Turn on the flashlight and hold it at the side of your head, even with your eye. You want the beam to be shining at the spot where you are looking, and you want the source of the light to be as close to your eye as possible. Then look slowly around your yard, paying close attention to grass, flower beds, etc.

If you look carefully, you should see some bright pinpoints of light. Examine these carefully. Some of them will probably be drops of water clinging to the plants, but many of them will turn out to be the eyes of spiders. Depending on where you live, the weather, and how carefully you look, you may see a few spiders, or you may see hundreds of them. It is amazing how many spiders there are out there.

Good, cuz I'm going to keep giving it to you, especially since we're still in baby owl season!

I forgot about this little cutie pie! 🥰

If you want some more info, I have this post that has more pics and info, including the researcher that first documented it holding the actual owl!

It's a great story. He heard a call he didn't know and chased it for 6 years until he found this little guy.

Edit: Thank you for posting!

The hardest shit ever is koalas fighting, it's some pure demon-level craziness.

beebarfbadger , in What a Twist! : New study says owls may actually be able to turn their heads a full 360 degrees

Humans can turn their head 360° too. Owls can just do it more than once.

Emerald , in always something

That's not true. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-photo-owl-sitting-crossed-legs-822881945319.

Cool image though and funny meme.

ReluctantMuskrat ,

You're a lot of fun!!

Emerald ,

I mean hey its important to note that its not scientifically accurate. I think its a nice meme though as it really does look like criss cross applesauce.

Asafum , in Medieval owl scale

A mixture of 6 and 9.

But not nice.

Mix between 1 and 9.

intelisense , in Philippine Scops Owl

I will be very disappointed if this owl isn't on the owl-of-the-year competition.

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

RemindMe! 5 months

It's got some substantial subspecies variation, with a darker color morph and more or less fluffy legs, so it's got versatility. This light version is the star to me if the bunch though.

I do want to solicit at least some of the participants this year since we've become well established here. I'm curious to see which ones have really impacted you all.

Oh ! Count me in. I haven't been here much but for owl-of-the-year I will be back. Last year was so much fun!

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I am glad you're still here! You're another one I've been missing your name popping up.

I absolutely want to do Owl of the Year again.

@pseudo@jlai.lu avatar

I'm not the kind to stick to one thing. I get invest a lot for sometime then I lost interest coming back from time to time but not so much.
I still love owl, I upvote many post but I don't have much so say anymore (^_^') Too bad because I miss the fun we had!

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

No worries! The owls and I are here when you need us. I'm just glad you're doing well.

Bunnylux , in Philippine Scops Owl
@Bunnylux@lemmy.world avatar

Are they really pink around the eyes like that? Wow!

anon6789 OP ,
@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

Good catch! I didn't even take notice to that myself. It does add a very nice touch of flair.

The Verrreux Eagle Owl is famous for having pink eyelids, so it would not shock me if this was a pretty natural color for the Scops and not just some flashy photo editing.
