That’s the “nothing to see here, I am just an ugly tree branch” look. It is so ugly you can’t help but like it, like those world’s ugliest cat/dog contests.
And then once it’s feeling relaxed, it just goes back to that oh so adorable fluffball again. It’s crazy! 🤪
I’m hoping to see one of these guys next month. I’m headed to NY and there’s a couple places that claim to have this owl.
All the owls will do variations of these things, but the patterning of the White Faces Scops seems perfect for our viewing pleasure. It’s been an Internet sensation for years now as the “Transformer Owl.”

This is only the second angriest of its 3 forms!
Here’s the other 2:
It also has “I’m too big to be eaten” mode.

Yeah, exactly!
They’re so cute… I totally get that “so ugly it’s cute” feeling.
Have fun in NY! Hopefully you take some awesome pics :D
If I see anything, I’ll be sure to share it!
I still want to go see the Flaco tribute at the Historical Society as well, but that will likely be a second trip
I can’t believe they’re even the same bird. Pictures 1 and 2 look so different! xD
