New research finds #fluorescence in feathers of Long-eared Owls
https://phys.org/news/2025-04-fluorescence-feathers-eared-owls.html

Fluorescent pigment concentration correlated with age, sex, and size in #LongEaredOwl (Asio otus) plumage https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15594491.2024.2444031

"female Long-eared #Owls have a much higher concentration of these pigments in their feathers, challenging a common misconception that colorful #plumage is a male trait... We are only beginning to describe fluorescent pigments in #birds and other vertebrates"

Um den Tag mit was Positiven zu starten:
Das sollen zwei verwaiste Küken sein die die unbefruchteten Eier einer Eule ersetzten. Jetzt freut sich die Eule und kümmert sich rührend um die Kleinen.

Mit diesem warmen Gefühl im Herzen beim Anblick der drei, wünsch ich euch allen einen positiven Start in den Tag

Look who I captured this morning! I’ve been observing a Barred Owl roosting on our patio at night. I am fairly certain it’s hanging out down there to pick off the song birds who sleep under the deck at night. That’s a grim thought but I am so excited to have caught it in the daylight watching me from its vantage point in a hickory tree. I was able to get this shot from the deck which put me at eye level.

A sweet owl to brighten your Monday, have a good one!

It is the breeding season for many owls now so you might get lucky and hear some at night. Many owls don't actually hoot, they instead have a bounty of breeding songs that don't sound owl-like at all. This is a great sampling of owls of N. Am.!
