And now I can't get Justin Hawkins' voice out of my head - and the image of him wearing a spandex outfit. Shudder

Everything about this photo is top notch. Truly a superb owl.

I'd much rather run into this owl than that one! 😯

this face is either "hello, neighbor" or "HALP? Please?"
either way, be sure to wave back in the future.

The fact that gesture is quite similar to the Screechian Nerve Pinch has led to many troubles between owl and rodent kind over the years.

Why did I see a tiny, muscular orange man?

Has the same complexion as The Thing! 😁

Though most articles only mention the tremendous strength of the GHO, I did find this care guide for Screech Owls saying to always wear gloves, as the talons can go through a fingernail, so it's probably worse on the meaty bits. 😮

Getting the owl pinch is definitely not a bucket list item

There's a lot I'd do just to say I had the experience, but even I don't think I'd intentionally go for that one!
