For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #StareDown here is a female short-eared owl from last month, with a bit of a wind blown look.

Thank you, Margot. 🙏 (I tried hard to convince other family members that dad‘s cat loved them best. 😉)

Thank you 🙏 having a strong relationship with my two brothers, sister, and SIL’s is helping us to work through the loss and remember some good memories.

This was useful, thank you. I have a large master bathroom that I’ll use initially for the new cat with a new bed, cat tree, and litter box. Bought the feliway diffusers and have a baby gate to put up when we get to that step. My boys are pretty mellow and I think dad’s cat is as well 🤞🏻

Thank you, Karen 🙏 He had 96 years, a pretty good run. We will miss him for certain.

Dad passed away at home with family beside him. It was truly a blessing to be able to see him on his way. (I will be adding his cat to my household, so any suggestions on easing the way between my two and his cat appreciated!)

My apologies for dropping off the radar, and being unavailable of late. A family member is on home hospice and I’m supporting them. Thank you for all your beautiful photography and posts I am able to catch.

The owls will also screech loudly when they are chasing an intruder off their patch.

Oh! That is cold. I think I’m a sissy who doesn’t tolerate the cold — with my hands aching even when wearing gloves. Have purchased another set of rechargeable hand warmers. 🔥

Thank you, Shelby 🙂🙏 It is hard, but I'm hoping not impossible? The camera is smart, with continuous AF that works pretty well for birds. So my next move is to get a tripod with a gimbal mount and see if that helps. 🤞
