Who needs a cat as a mouser when you've got an owl?

Wow, what a beautiful bird. Remember this pic for next OOTY, I bet screechies will get a boost.

Also, we need to think of a word that starts with H to put in front of Owl of the Year, so it will be the HOOTY. 😆

This is really neat, wish it was closer to me!

Just an FYI, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits the collection and possession of nearly all wild native bird parts--including naturally shed feathers-- without a permit in the US. There are a few exceptions, such as game birds and non-native species.

It's absurd, that's all.

It's really hard to make anything with an etch a sketch, even their own r&d can't do it.

I visit my local food pantry regularly, so I think I have some perspective.

There's a state run mobile food pantry that makes up boxes of shelf stable foods to give out. It's wonderful, but it's always pretty much the same things every time-- canned corn, peas, tuna, fruit, spaghetti sauce, beans. They are clearly buying staples in bulk to give out, which makes sense for their process.

When I go to my local pantry, which gets a lot of direct donations, I can find a much wider variety of products. Canned chicken, nice soups, ravioli, artichokes, diced tomatoes, etc. It makes for a more varied and interesting diet.

Donating money is great and versatile, but donating canned goods can be valuable too.

The military is making WMDs but can't get the slides presented properly.

Because "Indians" used to bury people this way as a form of torture, or test of bravery--only they probably didn't really, at least not as much as movies might have suggested. Here's a clip from the movie "Jeremiah Johnson" (1972), which was very well known at the time and probably inspired this strip: https://youtu.be/pYhlVR9GzjA?si=klSXoYG0m3ynJzE4
