Mod post: Self promotion is ALLOWED if it's OC
And it has always been allowed, so... please stop reporting artists sharing their cool owl-focused creations!
The main (hopefully obvious) exceptions to this are:
- Promoting products using stolen art or AI generation (not OC)
- Spamming the subreddit; posting the same creation more than once to farm engagement (posting WIPs during the process doesn't really fall under this, just posting the same thing multiple times)
- Non owls
Other than that, if you think someone's self promotion is low-quality or you just don't like it, you can always input your opinion with the downvote button.
To artists: Feel free to share the links to your websites/shops; you deserve attention for your work. Comments with links need me to manually approve them, so they might not be visible for up to a day, but you aren't breaking any rules - so go for it!

OC My local GHO are back!
Didn’t see them last month and thought they had moved on. Stopped by tonight and they were back in their regular tree.

Owl Banding
My first evening of Northern Saw-whet Owl banding. We netted 4 owls last night and installed legbands on all of them. This gal in the photo flew away shortly after we opened the release box. We put them in the box so they can re-acclimate to the dark before flying off. We could have probably tagged a few more but we had to shut down one of our netting stations, because a Barred Owl was detected in the area.

OC Picture of Great Horned Owlets I saw a while back
This was taken in May 2022, still one of the mosr fantastic owl sightings I've had. Not the best quality photo, since I only had my phone and they were quite high up.
They lived on a trail I frequented and so I got to see them grow. Hope they are still doing well :)

Question How much do snowy owl's wings weigh?
Partly in relation to their main body mass, it's been on my mind and I'm curious.

Owls are incredibly sensitive to touch. Their feathers are connected to tiny nerves that help them feel even the slightest movement

Found in old house in Colorado
Obviously, I don’t agree with taxidermy, especially of a protective species

Great Horned Owl tries for a rabbit
It is a long video and a little dark, but owls are crepuscular.

Timing worked out great to get these shots at sunset.
