#snowyowl — Public Fediverse posts

This was possible drama unfolding. A mink had appeared next to me, ran across a frozen pond, TOWARDS possible death. That is a snowy owl atop the heap of rubble. At its base we can see the mink in the snow. The owl was facing right, it seemed to pay no attention to the mink. The mink disappeared into the rubble, possibly a den. It's possible the owl had recently eaten, so was just basking in the sun, uninterested in more food.

The second snowy owl perched in a tree for a long time, with a crowd of onlookers taking pictures from the road nearby. #birds #birdwatching #owl #SnowyOwl #WesternMA #WesternMassachusetts #wildlife

Snowy owl in Northampton, Massachusetts. There are two individuals that have been hanging out in the fields near the municipal airport for a couple weeks, and I saw both of them today. #birds #birdwatching #owl #SnowyOwl #WesternMA #WesternMassachusetts #wildlife

Oh dear!

I see the whole "#SpottedOwl" Right-Wing hysteria from the 1990's coming back over this.

(Most) #Republicans are devoid of #empathy (while extolling #Jesus... a brown-skinned Middle Eastern man who tells them to "welcome the stranger" & "care for the poor"), mocking inconveniencing people for the benefit of "some stupid birds".

Poppy #Bush even made the "controversy" part of his campaign. 😒

@KateShaw 's new episode is about owls? Spiders? water deer?? I don't know. Somehow I got it confused with episode 355, and I listened to them both and now I don't know which is which.

Next in my 🇨🇦 Canadian series: la belle province. The symbols of Québec, its provincial bird, the snowy owl and its tree, the yellow birch cover the hand-carved map of #Québec in this #linocut. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, Payne's gray, gold, black and yellow, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

Are you aware of owls? It’s International Owl Awareness Day and here are a few of my favourites: the burrowing owl who appears to be wearing pantaloons, the screech owl and the snowy owl, official bird of Quebec.

#Woodcock has the brightest #feathers ever measured https://www.birdguides.com/articles/woodcock-has-the-brightest-feathers-ever-measured/

How #woodcocks produce the most brilliant white #plumage patches among the #birds https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.09.519795v2

The reverse surface of the white #EurasianWoodcock fail feather tips reflected around 55% of light, as measured using #spectrophotometry. This is around five times brighter than #SnowyOwl and 10 times brighter than the feathers of #ArcticRedpoll, both known for their startling white plumage.
