Bird Weekly Round-Up – Week #19
Week #19 challenge was Owls.
Disclaimer: If anyone has an issue with me using their photos in the round ups, please kindly let me know. I haven’t had anyone say anything, but I don’t want you to think I’m using your photographs for personal gain. I’m here to show what great work you are doing with your photography by showing you off in these posts.
There are over 200 species of owls in the world and most are solitary and nocturnal. They have built-in night vision to see and capture their prey such as small mammals, rodents, insects and other birds. They are divided into two families. The true owl family (Strigidae) and the barn-owl family (Tytonidae). A group of owls are called a parliament.

Many awesome owls this week. The first set are the Great Horned Owl.

So many owls I’ve never seen or heard of thanks to all you wonderful bloggers from around the world! Then there are some that I have and never photographed like the barn owl.
Helen’s Tawny Owlets 
Wooley’s Pear Spotted Owl
Brian’s Powerful Owl 
Cathy’s Barn Owl
These two are regulars in Florida, but you have to go to specific locations to see the Burrowing Owl.

Margaret’s Burrowing Owl
Then there is the elusive Snowy Owl that captures the heart of everyone, including Harry Potter. This is the bird I would like to see in the actual snow.
Cookies or Biscuits?

Nature provides us with a great deal of creativity and happiness in our lives. As Bird Weekly evolves, I find myself thinking outside the box with my owl cookies. I would encourage you to do the same. I’m enjoying this ride with all of you and miss some of our regulars this week who didn’t have any owl photos. Hope to see you back for Week #20. Keep em’ coming because the education I’m getting from all is so rewarding!
Next up: Week #20: Birds in your yard or garden.

I look forward to seeing your creations this week!

Ha ha. I do have a photo of a barn owl in captivity, but that seems just wrong.

Well you could have posted it. Not all birds that were added last week were wild. All of mine were. Some people don’t have the same opportunities that I do to get out there and find certain birds. I’m pretty open-minded when it comes to birds. 😊

I have a owl-themed front door mat and a huge canvas of an owl hanging in my front hall. I had thought of photographing those, lol. In the future I’ll be more creative.
