Now That We’re All HERE, The Meeting Can Begin
Wait- did you say someone is missing? WHOOOOOOO might that be?
Eastern Screech Owls, as seen on Mail Online!
Happy Whoooooo Year
This just in, from Peter G. at Providence Raptors: “Here are some photos of “Little Who,” an adorable Northern Saw-Whet Owl who was rescued by Tara Kissel. Driving home one night, Tara spotted the reflection of this tiny owl’s eyes as he lay in the middle of a four-lane highway. Here she is accepting the Oscar® for Bravest Owl Rescuer, then releasing the “Little Who” back to the wild after rehabilitation by the Wildlife Rehabilitators Association of Rhode Island and the Born To Be Wild Nature Center.”
“It was obvious he had tried to fly across but was hit by a car and stunned. With no way out, this owl was doomed.”
“But along came his guardian angel who pulled a u-turn, waited for a break in the traffic and ran out to scoop him up in her new Christmas sweater.”
Q: What’s Warmer & Fuzzier Than A Sleepy Owl & Bun?
A: Nothing. Night night.
(Mashable.)
Fa La La La La, LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAA
From NBC News.com’s This Week In Pictures: “A small owl yawns as it sits in the snow in Ansung City, South Korea, on Dec. 4.”

If I Didn’t Know Better…
..I’d almost swear this Bebeh Owl was one of those Animatronic types you see at Disneyland. Wow.

Gonna Be One Of THOSE Days
[I can just feel it. Back inside the tree.]
“This little pair of beauties are eastern screech owls that just started nesting in my parent’s backyard. My dad is a wildlife photographer, so he was ALL OVER that owl fluffiness. I love the one of the female yawning. Maybe one for a caption contest! If you could link to my dad’s site, that would be so awesome!”- Shorey M.
