Got no owl stoke, but I do have turkey stoke (and an owl call).

Listening to the winds howl

Dammit - I used to have a rad owl pellet (as well as bear plug) collection in the freezer until like ten years ago when my wife made me get rid of them.

Very cool!

OMG^^^I think I just died from CUTE!

I love owls, but in Cuban lore (at least according to my mom) you are not supposed to keep images or actual owls in your home because they portend death.

I brought home a little owl figurine once as a kid and my mom positively freaked out. I kept it anyway...and had lots of bad luck.

Also I was not allowed to keep cacti in the house for the same reason (bad mo-jo).

Freaking crazy Cubans. Look at what all their bad-luck superstition stuff got them. (I still prefer to be on the safe side)

It's kind of amazing to me that the same day I read this thread I find an owl while walking the dogs, and he's nice enough to just kick it with me while I take some pics. Haven't seen an owl up close in over a decade. This guy was super chill. I got about ten pics with my phone, and these are the best of them.

I got dive-bombed by a great horned owl a few weeks back. It was huge, close to two-feet tall. After the bombing run it just sat on a branch giving me the stare down. Pretty cool to see in a semi-urban area (Queen Anne for those familiar with Seattle).

Obama the Owl Killer

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/...re_633047.html

"After decades of sidelining the once-thriving American timber industry and taking the food out of the mouths of loggers' children to allegedly protect the spotted owl, the green bureaucracy is still not happy and has declared war on the environment," the director of the Occupy Occupy D.C. movement, David Almasi, said in the release. "One owl is being sacrificed for another. Where is the respect for the laws of nature? The one thing we do know from this travesty is that the Endangered Species Act is out-of-control and desperately needs to be reformed."

Today’s protest seems to have been inspired by an Associated Press report from earlier this week. “To save the imperiled spotted owl, the Obama administration is moving forward with a controversial plan to shoot barred owls, a rival bird that has shoved its smaller cousin aside,” the report read. “The plan is the latest federal attempt to protect the northern spotted owl, the passive, one-pound bird that sparked an epic battle over logging in the Pacific Northwest two decades ago.”

"Obama has picked winners and losers when it comes to bailouts, handouts and where we can get our energy. Now he's playing God by favoring one animal over another. What arrogance," Almasi also said. "Virtually shutting down the timber industry in the Pacific Northwest didn't work, so now the plan is to shut down the barred owl. This is unreasonable, and the answer is to rethink our government's unsustainable endangered species regulations."
