I feel it’s been a while since I’ve posted a LEO, and this I’ve had a nice fall background.
Some facts from
Compared to great-horned owls, long-eared owls are lanky, with slimmer ear tufts and a more rufous facial disk. Their flight is lighter, more closely resembling that of other meadow-dwellers with a buoyant and moth-like wingbeat.
To camouflage, long-eared owls will “suck in,” use their wings to cover the conspicuous patterning on their flanks and erect their ear tufts.
Superb!
Indubitably!
Fairly long legs too, I bet. Under all that fluff.
Fun fact, those ear tufts are actually more like eyebrows.
Yes indeed! Eyebrows are a good comparison since they can express moods.
I don’t know why nobody uses their real name. I think it’s a really fun word: plumicorns!

Right?! It’s a cool word!
Here’s another owl facts for you. The snowy owl in your gif is a boy. The snowies all start speckled, but the males lose most of theirs as they mature.
Pretty sure I knew that one (there were a pair of snowy owls at a place I used to frequent) but it hadn’t occurred to me to check. New owl watching game unlocked!
Nice! I haven’t seen one in person yet, but they’re one of my favorites.

Wait… this is a Léo ? Oh non ! C’est trop tard pour changer de pseudo (T_T)
Les Grands-ducs d’Amérique sont les “tigres du ciel”, donc le hibou moyen-duc peut être “lion du ciel!”
Alors on est toujours “chouette” en deux langues!
J’espère que ma blague a du sens. 😜
Totally ! Anyway what is more “chouette” than bilingual jokes about owl ?
Once I find a way to monetize poorly translated French owl jokes I’ll be set! It seems like an area without much competition! 🤣

This is the least fluffy one I could find. He’s trying to look tall. Big strrrrrrretch!

It is a trick, like whens cat shows its belly. It looks so soft and irresistible, but when you go to touch, then it attacks! 😉
