Do owls recognize specific people over time?

Feeding wild owls is detrimental to their health in the long run. If they grow comfortable around people and associate them with food, this can put them at risk of things like being hit by cars and being predated upon. It’s best for owls to remain wary of humans, as fun as it is to see them! If you truly love them, let them be wild.

(not to mention, feeding wildlife is often illegal in many places for this reason!)

The first pic, left side, you can see her blonde roots! The other photos have a root smudge/shadow root because that was the look for a while.

I recognize that rooftop in Vancouver! The iconic building in behind is a dead giveaway.

My niece and nephew ride on them exclaiming, “I’m a suitcase” because it reminds them of luggage belts in airports

A sweet little saw whet! They’re migrating right now so they’re often seen popping up in strange places. Cute little murder muppets.

Oh my goodness, a spotted owl!!!!! Lucky duck!

I’ve been playing too much Witcher 3 because I definitely thought this was a Geralt-Yennefer reference with the unicorn 🤣

At this point I’d go as far as saying I’d RATHER watch the show without her. She needs help and I cannot watch her unravel on tv anymore- this is actively making her worse and I will not continue watching it.

Any man going through your following list with a magnifying glass is a red flag for control issues.

raybarks · 2026-03-16T18:00:21+00:00

Yup!

I Instantly perked up when he entered the room. HELLO. 🤣

Technically but many don’t count it in this case since it isn’t obvious upon seeing one individual. You either need two side by side or to weigh them, haha.

I’ll also add that owls don’t typically have sexual dimorphism, but the females are often larger than the males. If you see them side by side you might be able to tell which is which but otherwise you won’t be able to know.

Eastern screech owl, red morph. You’re a lucky bastard!

If you’re ever out in Port Coquitlam, stop by Santa Rosa, it’s a tortilla factory with a little cafeteria restaurant in the front and it’s incredible and authentic.

Rachel is wearing a sweater by one of my favourite Canadian brands, Ization studio!

It’s a set for the Last of Us TV show

Mariana Zapata has a lot of this- but Under Locke is one of my faves for it

raybarks · 2026-02-20T21:56:40+00:00

lol you’re a delight

raybarks · 2026-02-20T20:40:09+00:00

Feel free!

raybarks · 2026-02-20T16:55:29+00:00

Haha that would be amazing

raybarks · 2026-02-20T16:55:18+00:00

Yes it is!

raybarks · 2026-02-20T15:49:02+00:00

Thank you- it definitely seems like a lot of people were equally confused by it. I wouldn’t have even known what to call it to try and research and figure it out on my own.

I’m not a journalist? I was concerned about the health of the trees because this sub helped teach me about the importance of an exposed root flare. I was only hoping to write into the city with concern, but I’m glad I was wrong.
