#longearedowl — Public Fediverse posts

The Long-eared Owl may look alert with its “ears,” but those are actually just feathers. Its real ears are hidden—and asymmetrical—helping it locate prey with incredible precision, even in complete darkness.

I’m going to share prints I completed this year until the end of 2025 and today it’s my Parliament of Owls linocut. Find them all on sale this week at minouette.etsy.com!

I love the whimsical terms of venery for groups of animals and have an ongoing series of #linocut #termsOfVenery prints. 🧵

New research finds #fluorescence in feathers of Long-eared Owls
https://phys.org/news/2025-04-fluorescence-feathers-eared-owls.html

Fluorescent pigment concentration correlated with age, sex, and size in #LongEaredOwl (Asio otus) plumage https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15594491.2024.2444031

"female Long-eared #Owls have a much higher concentration of these pigments in their feathers, challenging a common misconception that colorful #plumage is a male trait... We are only beginning to describe fluorescent pigments in #birds and other vertebrates"

Bonne année à toustes !

Merci encore pour cette belle année 2024, et espérons que la suite sera tout aussi plaisante à vos côtés !
