Totally Gnarly
Totally Gnarly
From Harold Wilion
Deep, deep in a dark forest in Middle Earth one of nature's miracles awakens and gets ready to start the night's hunt from the most gnarly tree l've ever photographed an owl in. It wasn't easy finding my way out of the pitch-dark forest and was prepared to hunker down for the night and defend myself against the creatures that would soon roam.
These dudes always have the best houses.
They do find the best spots!
I wonder how intentional it is. I'm sure the irregular surface is beneficial for them blending in, but do they know this?
I really wonder. It would be interesting to set up some kind of simulation forest with different types of owl holes and see which ones are preferred by which types of owl edit: also with different species of tree, and maybe a man made owl-box for control
