🎼Rising up
Onto the thermals
Did my release
Got my taaaggg
And the last known salmon
Is swimming there in a stream
Just an owl and his need to to surviiiiive
Australian Masked Owl, not one of our northern hemisphere barn owls. No wonder it looks so large here!
Was gonna say - that’s a heavyweight Barnie!
I was curious about the source of the photo and looked it up. Seems to be from this ABC story about rodenticide.
As soon as I saw “masked owl,” things made much more sense. I knew the Aussie and Tassie ones are the big guys, but I don’t think I’ve seen one next to a human before, so I couldn’t picture the difference. The Tasmanian one is even larger than this.
