My family used to have Canada Geese as pets when I was a kid. (Long story)

Geese are jerks, mostly.

I don't know, but it's extremely windy up there, so maybe it got blown off course?

Sometimes, owl you need is a little hoot of encouragement! Yesterday on Mount Washington, MWOBS Summit Interns Frank and Peter discovered a small owl shivering in the snow while taking their daily snow stake measurements. Its eyes were frozen shut and it was icing up in snowy, foggy, and windy conditions. With the help of NH State Park staff, our birding enthusiast volunteer Wendy, and lots of other input, we took our friend inside to warm up before NH State Park staff was able to take him/her down with their shift change to get them to NH Fish & Game. We hope our Northern Saw-Whet Owl friend lives a long and healthy life not at the Home of the World's Worst Weather! While no longer on the mountain, please comment any name suggestions below to commemorate our little friend's eventful trip to Mount Washington!

Flaming Hot Cheetos, obviously.

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.
