John E Marriott Photography @johnemarriott.bsky.social · Jan 23 I stand corrected thanks to @secondnaturemb.bsky.social I had originally labeled this as a boreal owl, but it's NOT, it's a northern saw-whet owl (which is WAY cooler, because I didn't think I'd ever seen one before!). Thanks Heather!

Is that an avian Ron Swanson?
That shot is incredible, John!
aeee- he knows how we feel and he empathizes
And it looks a bit perturbed by your initial mistake
Beautiful
A caption could say Just another human I do not need you.
This is, in fact, a serious owl.
Being able to be corrected and thankful is a beautiful thing.
Stunning
They are so hard to catch to take photos of! They're my personal favorite, too!
Thankyou Heather and John The little saw-whet goes straight into my Favourites box
You’re welcome, John. Both of them are very hard to find, so excellent job.
Either way it looks like a very pissed off little featherball of death
He looks peeved that you misidentified him
Great
gorgeous photo!
Really great shot, I love how owls some how always look like they're mad or judging everyone. Aside from there random comment, beautiful shot - beautiful creatures ❤️ haha
Incredible shot, John!
This one makes me think he was the inspiration for the BB-8 design!
They're so darned adorable.
The Northern Saw-whet is NOT. AMUSED.
I love these spicy little owls. They have twice the attitude of their big cousins. Absolute cutest feathered fury on the planet. They have all the spice of a cat attacking a bear.
Here’s one I saw at a local art gallery back in November. It was rescued locally in the Olympic Peninsula. My photo isn’t as good as yours, but she sure was cute.
Beautiful!
