Watch this owl's incredibly precise flying

Owls are the chillest birds


Well, most owls.

I liked how he was wiggling his feet on the glide in. Not sure if that was for fun, or small micro corrections in the path.

One time at the library they had a couple owls that came to visit, and the kiddo was into owls at the time. It was fun. Also had a hawk or an eagle, I can’t remember now which it was.

I mean, for a 2 pound animal on enough acid to kill the average man, I’d say he’s staying pretty cool…

Owls, pah!
Goshawks in woodland are the most adept and precise.

Hah, this was exactly the video I was going to post. :slight_smile:
But yeah, owls and hawks hunting among the undergrowth are amazing fliers. All the ones who spun out after they clipped a wing on a tree didn’t survive to raise owlets or hawklets. :owl::eagle:

Key holes on locks 1910 maybe. oh Hollywood :disappointed:

walking in woods morning after snow storm, a hole beside a stick had mouse tracks in the new snow. The tracks vanished and marks of wing feathers etched the snow surface, slight indent in snow where the mouse tracks vanish. Beautiful and tragic snow image. Was before pocket cell phones unfortunately.

I think what you’re referring to might be the jesses (leather straps bird trainers use to tie birds down ) swinging around?

Hmm. Yes, I think you’re right.
