This owl checked out this new hole for a minute or so before moving on for his evening hunt. Luckily, he alerted to something and managed to keep still enough for a 1 second exposure. Since was already shooting at 12,800, I didn't take the time to shorten it to .5 sec @ 25,000 for fear of missing the shot while was adjusting setting and was hesitant to use such a high ISO, although he was close enough, that I don't think the noise would have been objectionable.
It looks like he just stuck a very realistic plushie in the tree! đ
To paraphrase Arthur C Clarke, "Any sufficiently realistic plushie is indistinguishable from owl"
You guys come up with some of the best stuff sometimes! đ
It really is just cat software running on bird hardware.
My goal is to get cats to be called land-owls instead of owls being known as sky-cats.
The owl can do everything the cat can, sometimes better, but it can also fly, so I figure owl should come out on top.
Just⌠for the record⌠owls usually do come out on top. Theyâre known to take domestic cats fairly regularly.
(Youâd be surprised how many people think their little murder machine is an apex predator and so itâs perfectly safe to let them roam. I like cats. I wish more would keep them safe. And the birds.)
Drrr, drrr.
