I love to hear about land being transformed back to nature/re-wilded. There is a ex-golf course near me that this has been done to. I don’t know where its funding comes from, but hopefully the non-profit in charge will be able to continue their work. It makes such a difference to have a bit of nature in urban areas.

Great to hear about the owl population rebounding as well! And the reduced usage of rat poison.

Its dinosaur roots are showing.

Good to see that bewildered look on one. They are still cute, but perhaps not as cute.

This is beautiful. 🧡

This one looks much more judgy than the Northern one. It kind of looks like a cross between the juvenile Northern Saw Whet and the grown up one. Like the edgy teenage version.

A fully toasted one!

I guess that makes sense. Well, maybe send some government scientists to find the feathers to test them? Probably like a needle in a haystack. I just would really like to know what caused the coloration.

Wait, why illegal?

Thanks for posting this update. I’m glad to see it’s returning to normal coloration. Maybe someone will find some of the molted feathers and be able to figure out what caused it.

👋 I’ve mostly just been lurking and upvoting. Life has been busy. But also, I had the flu and haven’t felt like doing much of anything. 🤒 😴

Have a good summer, little guys! ❤️

I hope Indira is happy in her new home. I’ve enjoyed reading about her.
