Met this curious Eastern Screech Owl at Raptor Weekend in Bristol, RI Audubon. Such a small bird with a big personality!

This is the third time I've come across this one. This has to be the strangest fake owl pic I've come across. What is even going on here??

Nothing special to see here. Probably just a hoard of sparrowhawks sitting in the treetops above plucking white doves for dinner. The GGO is just protecting the sleeping or unconscious woman from the rain of white feathers and downs. Please move on.

I like your explanation the best

I feel like it was covering prey after a kill and got photoshoped into a corpse-like body in the snow. or whatever that white stuff is.

Either way... dun like it.

I feel this was supposed to be some Snow White or Twilight fanfic type scene, but it definitely gives me more crime scene vibes.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Most Twilight fanfics are crimes against humanity, so you're not that far off

My ex had me try to watch a few of those movies with her, but I was not able to maintain consciousness through any of them. I tried. None of the relationship options seemed particularly healthy anyway.

I've genuinely tried reading the original books, hoping it's the adaptation issues. They're not better

The model really does look a corpse.

It’d be an awful typecasting, like Walter Koenig playing ensign Chekhov

Koenig was seriously awesome as an antagonist in Bab5. Typecasting sucks.

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

She could always play Kathleen Peterson!

Typecasting is kinda crazy. You were sooooo good at this thing, that's why we can never see if you're as good at anything else.

It's hard to imagine Breaking Bad without Cranston at this point, and I thought Robin WIlliams (One Hour Photo, World's Greatest Dad), and even Adam Sandler (Punch Drunk Love), did good in their serious roles.

Definitely not me this morning fml

Screech Owls wouldn't make good alarm clocks.

Barn Owl is the way to go if you want to get up in a hurry!

Neither party will ever be the same again!
