I am a combo of tone deaf with total no recall for sounds so use the song ID from that frequently.
Time to bump the thread .
Was out looking for Long-eared Owls last weekend and saw this Barred Owl instead. Obi-Wan Kenobi was whispering "This is not the owl you are looking for", however, any owl is a good owl to shoot.
Was overcast and almost dusk with failing light so not sharp but still liked the pose and general color.

Saw-whet Owl from last spring.
La petite owl, these little muffins are only 7"- 8" in length.

Just a photo from some wanderings last weekend. Loved the lines and the moodiness of the scene. iPhone 14 Pro Max
A couple of days ago the morning bird feeder buzz was interrupted by this interloper. I'm saying it's a sharp-shinned hawk, but could be convinced that it may be a Cooper's hawk.
Long-eared Owl at dusk. High ISO but liked the funky colored sunset background sky. Image has grown on me some since I took it in December so decided to share it.
Owl in French = hibou (ee-boo)
Great Horned Owls are called "les grands ducs" (the big dukes)
Gorgeous photo!
Not sure you can call this random, but took this pic on a recent trip to New Zealand. Taken in the small town of Tirau, which has turned itself into a tourist attraction by making buildings into sculpture using corrugated metal.
One of my favorites. My husband took this in 2015 with his cell phone.
Sleeping Saw-whet Owl so no pretty eyes but these little guys (like 7" tall) are still so cute. Worth the frozen fingers today up here in the northland to grab a couple of images of them (there were two).
The fingers I got frostbitten decades ago (at ISU) were barking at me after I got home. Brrr!

Yesterday's sun was a real treat, but today's light is a real challenge with so much white in the background. Shooting through glass is never ideal, but, man, it's COLD out there. Here are two examples of the extreme differences.
White-fronted Parrot from walkabout last month near Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
I don't know if this counts as random, and I know this thread skews pretty heavily toward wildlife and landscapes, but I figured I'd share a few photos from the past few weeks of postseason wrestling in Wisconsin (from sectionals, the state individual tourney and the state duals). Postseason wrestling is probably my favorite sport to cover (but **** regular season duals and the 60w bulb spotlights), and I cover the state tournament every year for 10 of Gannett's 11 papers in Wisconsin.
For context, that first photo is from the trophy presentation at the state duals, where one of the teams won their fourth consecutive title.

More owls because that's what I've been chasing this winter and spring. Female Barred Owl leaving her nesting cavity. Was near dusk so ISO 8000 and not tack sharp by any means but still a fun sequence.
