So many cool birds! Sonny is very pretty. He looks so soft!

It’s pretty crazy to think they could cut a hole in the tree with a chainsaw and not disturb the owls.
This was a good read. It makes me wonder how much of these documentaries are staged. They often have beautiful cinematography, but probably the animals would be better off without humans in their remote habitats. I suppose they do help bring in conservation dollars, like he said, but at what cost? Perhaps some of the conservation would not be needed if we weren’t traipsing through animals’ homes to make a movie!
Also, that’s a great shot of the Barred Owl at the end of the article! Just the kind of lucky circumstances that makes photography fun.
I’m really enjoying these articles you’ve posted lately. I like cool owl pics, too, but it’s nice to have a bit of discussion beyond “I love that shot!”
This was an interesting read. I never really thought about all the considerations that go into building a nest box. How sad that things meant to help owls are basically turning into ovens and killing them. Hopefully the alterations will help.
