I didn’t have as much time to post this weekend, my girlfriend’s dad suddenly passed, so that has been taking priority over everything else. I still wanted to post something yesterday and today though, because sharing the pictures and facts with you guys is something that I look forward to. So I thought it was fitting to post this guy now.

There are many cool pictures of the Stygian Owl. There are normal ones like what I choose today, but there are ones where they look chubby and goofy, and they are also known for getting that red eye photo effect from artificial lighting, so they can have a demonic appearance.

Unlike other bats, these owls do not eat rodents, but the do eat bats. Both of those behaviors are pretty uncommon.

    Wow if this is a normal one, I can’t wait to see different pics.

    Condolences to you, your girlfriend, and her family. 💜

      Thank you for the kind thoughts. It’s very busy over here, they have a huge family, but it’s keeping everyone pretty upbeat, all considered. It’s so hot though, so I snuck indoors for an AC break.
