for the coolest owl we have.
They are headed south in mass numbers
Apparently, Hawaii just got its first record of a snowy owl, showed up at the airport in the capital.
What a problem bird, couldn’t catch it, it wouldn’t leave, so they blasted it. Yep, shot it dead. :
If arctic owls can get to Hawaii, they could get to your house. Be on the look out if you like this sort of thing. 8)
That would look so cool on my mantle.
Aw, come on now, that’s not cool!
I hope some come to winter down here. Plenty of mice and cats to eat.
Although I think he was joking. But still!
It’ll look nice right next to my Spotted Owl collection. 
Hey someone has to not care animals right?
I laughed. Hard. I died a little inside, but I was laughing on the outside. ;D
Hey, it would look cool on my mantle. Doesn’t mean I’m going to go out and shoot one, but we can at least acknowledge the truth of the statement.
See, I don’t think it would look cool on my mantle…
I think it looks cool sweeping silently over a field and dropping like tens kind of death on a poor field mouse.
reminds me of a book I had when I was a kid. A true story about a wildlife activist in Vermont who found a ‘dead’ owl near his house and took it home to bring to the local game warden. Well it wasn’t on his mantle but it wasn’t dead either! imagine waking up to a recently thawed out and very upset great horned in your living room! now that would be cool! asuming you don’t have small pets.
Well, I don’t like rye IPAs, so there!
All in fun, of course. Different strokes and all that.
Owls are okay, but I really want one if those California Condors hanging from the ceiling right above my mounted elephant head. Now that would be COOL.
Personally I think owls are really cool, and there’s not much spookier than seeing silent death swoop down over a field at dusk. That said, here in OK, I’ve got several friends of Native American Indian origin who are seriously freaked out by them; there’s some real significance in folklore and tradition.
Especially a white one! :o
Isn’t there a white owl in Harry Potter? Seriously sinister.
Well, neener, neener…
That is the coolest looking owl I’ve ever seen. Pretty elusive in the snow…bet that guy eats well.
We have some Barn Owls that nest behind our property.
Beautiful pic, Ron!
