This is the result of that stream session. It took a bit over an hour.

Asio flammeus (short-eared owl). Oddly, the "ears" aren't actually ears but rather tuffs of feathers that they can raise or lower depending on mood. And checkout the eye makeup--lol! SEOWs have low breeding site fidelity, they don't breed in the same place each year. That makes it very hard to determine population size. I participated in a multi-year study to attempt to determine SEOW population in the West:

I'm usually not one to post twice on the same day, but I can't resist sharing this SuperbOwl painting I finished not very long ago.

A happy superbOwl day to those who celebrate!

EDIT: WTF, the Superbowl turned out to be politically charged in a good way I didn't expect. I didn't mean to counterprogram that.

I just found out about Superb Owl and I like it, so I've made one:

Happy Superb Owl Day! 🦉 Sharing artwork to celebrate. I loved painting this great horned owl in watercolor, the owl that stayed in our pine tree all day. 20x16 framed, greeting visitors at Moraga Art Gallery thru March 15. A wonderful gallery! Please visit https://moragaartgallery.com 🎨 I'm so happy to be a featured artist!

As it's Sunday, I guess it's time to look again at this fascinating 'reverse' Owl Cigars sign from 1913 San Francisco:

    Barn Owls have some extraordinary adaptations to help them hunt at night, such as silent flight, sensitive hearing and the ability to spot movement in very low light.

    Hi folks,
    So my sister is a zookeeper and takes care of the birds. She often sends pictures.

    This is Baked Beans. He is a baby screech owl and is being raised for the zoo's ambassador bird program.
    I would die for Beans.

    This is one of the earliest Beans pictures. He itty! He bitty! He covered in baby fluff!

    Look at that little round boi. If you zoom in, he is rockin that 'stache

    Baby owls, not always cute. Sometimes, they look like death warmed over, right after waking up but before the coffee is ready.
    My sister calls this his "mouldy strawberry" phase.

    Anyway, here's another picture of Beans taken the same day as the previous post. I don't think he's quite awake yet

    My friends, as it is Superb Owl day, I would like to show a more recent picture of Baked Beans, taken back in January. He now has his adult plumage and is quite majestic, particularly since he's all sticky-uppy. He was being taken past the gorilla play room and did not like the gorillas.
