Oh my goodness its little face is so cuuuute 🥰 I’ve always thought highly of owls but your presence on this site sure has made me appreciate them even more.

Thanks for being such a great owl champion. 😁
- Same. I've always thought they were cool and mysterious, but until last year, I never really knew how diverse and amazing they are.
  
  I never expected to go around prosteletizing all the virtues of owls every day, but life takes us strange places! ☺️
  
  I'm glad you all enjoy it and are learning so many great things along with me!
  
  That baby is super cute! It looks like a little duckling.
That owl is giving the “do NOT take pictures of my kid” look.
- If you didn't see yesterday's video of the hawk attack (owl came out miraculously unscathed, except for some down), equally as impressive as that hawks blazing speed is how Momma Owl got back on that egg before she was even fully back to her senses. No one is allowed to mess with Baby!
