Molting is Tough

Just for fun, as today is Halloween, I found the scariest of all my photos! This is a Screech Owl pair that were in the middle of their yearly molt. Adding to the the scary look, I photographed them way before sunrise so their pupils were still fully dilated!

They're still adorable to me! 🥰

Omg, I'm in love with them! So cute!
- I'm glad you liked them! They're only like this for a very short time each year, and it makes them look so sad and vulnerable. I want to tell them it's ok and they still look fierce. 😁
