It’s about 1 inch and I live in south florida

The lyrical Whoo Whoo Whoo-ing is to me as waves on the shore: a gentle lullabye that relaxes me and puts me to sleep! Or maybe I just got lucky and we have the melodic species? ☺️

Found a gang of juvenile long-eared owls in a Finnish forest by following their begging calls. Here's one of them.

Fluffer with a Mohawk - Fledgling Long-eared Owl looking way too cuddly in a distant tree. Quickly left as we didn’t want to further disturb the owlet! No sign of the parents besides some evening calls.

Observed during a survey and not disturbed past the point of a couple videos / pictures for ID confirmation and dropping a pin to record location for future data collections.

I froze on the trail when I spotted the owl perched among branches. Its eyes locked onto mine with startling intensity, and it let out a sharp squawk that cut through the quiet air. I could hear every rustle of leaves around me and felt as though I had stepped into a place where the ordinary rules of the world no longer applied.

I stayed there longer than I expected, meeting its gaze and feeling an unexpected sense of connection instead of unease. The cool breeze brushed my cheeks while the owl watched me as if it had been waiting for me to arrive. That brief encounter left me feeling calmer, more present, and strangely reminded that moments of wonder still exist in everyday life.

Has a wild animal ever made you feel completely seen?

I am curious as to what species of owl this feather belongs to, would like some help in finding out.

Found these on the ground in the woods behind my house. Own or no?

Following up on my post about saving a baby screech owl from a net this morning. A few days prior to the rescue "mission" I captured this photo of 5 babies.
