my partner’s grandpa found a dead barred owl in their stream last night, he moved it to a tree and I took pictures of it this morning. the talons are amazing.

would love to see some interesting owls :]
Here is a leucistic and albino screech owl! With such large eyes it really makes the difference between the two really loud and clear!
And I’m obsessed with how melanism in owls seems to turn them dark brown rather than solid black! Here is a barn, ural, and barred owl!

Congrats congrats! Do you have any facts about: stellar's jays, varied thrushes, or barred owls? (All of which live in my parents' backyard!)
Thank you thank you!!
I am soooo jealous as someone east of the Rockies, Steller's jay and varied thrush are two of my dream birds when I finally get out that way!
Steller's jays (Cyanocitta stelleri) are omnivores, with about a third of their diet being animal matter. They'll eat invertebrates, small rodents, eggs, and sometimes even other birds' nestlings. They're very adaptable to whatever they can find! The other two-thirds of their diet is plant matter like confer seeds and acorns. If there are humans around they'll definitely exploit those food sources. A favorite treat of pretty much any corvid is peanuts :)

Barred owls (Strix varia) are soooo much fun! The pneumonic we use to remember their calls is "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?" They're named after the beautiful dark brown pattern all over their bodies!

Varied thrushes (Ixoreus naevius) are a stunning relative of the American robin (Turdus migratorius). They are the only species in the genus Ixoreus which means they are pretty unique among their family members! There's a rare variant of this species where all of the orange parts are replaced with white, which I would love to see.
