UPDATE. spoke with the rescue and he is still in guarded condition but they are hopeful he will recover. Had an interesting morning in the shop. Our Barn cat, Mrs. Cat left us a present. Turns out he is a Northern Saw Whet owlet. We brought him to the great team @rockymountainwildlifealliance to nurture him back to health. They are a local non profit organization doing great work. Please support them if you can. #owls #wildliferescue

We’re excited to announce our latest #AudubonTakeover this week featuring the beautiful videography of Nathan Clark (@nathanclarkwildlife)—who earned the Video Honorable Mention in the 2025 Audubon Photography Awards United States and Canada contest! Nathan is a wildlife photographer and cinematographer with a passion for wildlife and conservation. He hopes that his cinematography inspires a greater appreciation of the amazing beauty, astonishing behaviors in the animal kingdom and a desire to better understand and preserve the natural world. This week, we’ll be sharing Nathan’s videos of a Great Gray Owl family—the very one in his Video Honorable Mention—that he has been able to watch for four years. He notes that this large owl is a resident of the Boreal Forest and faces challenges with loss of old growth forest habitat and the impacts of climate change. The mother owl spent about thirty days incubating two eggs. After a month of faithfully sitting, rain or shine on this uncomfortable looking nest snag, two tiny, helpless owlets hatched as seen here. For the next month after that, this mother sheltered and cared for the owlets as they grew into robust little owls. Their successful breeding was Nathan’s top priority—he filmed them using long telephoto lenses, always keeping quiet and avoiding any fast movements. Stay tuned this week to learn more about this owl family’s story as told by @nathanclarkwildlife.

The barn owl, Tyto Alba, is a medium sized bird of prey often found in open farmlands and countryside habitats. Barn owls have evolved to silent flight - wherein their soft, fringed wing feathers allow them to glide smoothly through air and ambush prey. Another hunting adaptation they have are asymmetrical ears; one being higher than the other to perfectly pinpoint prey in the darkness. They have a distinctive and pure white heart-shaped facial disc, which acts like a satellite dish to funnel sound to their ears. I think they resemble a little apple 🍏 Credit moonfervent #barnowl #owls #fyp #wildlife #owl

Owls Can't Move Their Eyes — But Hide Long Legs in Fluff! 🦉👀#animals #funny #cute #shortfeed #owls

Owls are extraordinary nocturnal predators belonging to the order *Strigiformes*, defined by specialized biological adaptations that make them elite hunters. Their most famous trait is **silent flight**, achieved through fringed, velvety feathers that muffle air turbulence to allow for stealthy approaches. Because their large, tubular eyes are fixed in place by bony **sclerotic rings**, they have evolved the ability to rotate their necks up to **270°** to scan their surroundings. This visual prowess is complemented by incredible hearing, often aided by **asymmetrical ear placements** that allow them to triangulate the exact location of prey in total darkness. After consuming their meal—which ranges from small mammals to insects—they regurgitate indigestible parts like bones and fur as **pellets**. These birds are primarily divided into two families: **Strigidae** (true owls with round faces) and **Tytonidae** (barn owls with heart-shaped faces), each playing a vital role in controlling rodent populations across diverse ecosystems worldwide. #meme #funny #reels #owls
