If one is ever in Pittsburgh, the Heinz History Center has a Fred Rogers exhibit with a ton of stuff to get the nostalgia going with sets, puppets, props, and outfits. I really enjoyed it and the rest of the museum is great as well.
Send it my way, we just got more snow.
Even the trees wish it was still Sunday. ๐ด

Finally, after a couple of years of waiting for an opportunity, I got a glimpse of a Western Screech Owl captured in my camera.

Oh my goodness, what beautiful big round eyes you have LEO.
One can go to other language versions of the Wikipedia as well and the info is different. The pages aren't just translations from English.
I'll check out different countries' pages sometimes to see different culture references or to see what names are in other languages. Very useful.

You as well, friend! โค๏ธ๐ฆ
Snowy kids go through a few color changes growing up. This awkward middle stage may just be my favorite.
I have no idea if it's a guy or gal owl, but they're way, they are working it!
Happy Valentine's to you, as well, our champion of animal posting! ๐ฆโค๏ธ

We had a Morepork come in today who was covered in the seeds and sap of the dreaded Parapara tree or 'bird catching tree' as it's also called, and for a good reason!
In spring and summer, the parapara develops a glue- like coating on its seeds, designed to aid in seed dispersal, but remains sticky for months, trapping birds.
Why do birds get caught?
Birds are attracted to the seeds, possibly because of bugs stuck in the seed pods, and become entangled when they try to feed or fly.
Where it grows?
It's typically found on islands and coastal areas of the North Island, and is present in Auckland.
We use a citrus based solvent here at the centre which is safe on the birds and won't cause any irritation like some other common things used at home would. Please - If you find a bird that has been caught in a Parapara tree, bring it up to us rather than trying to remove them yourself

I always wonder how many napping owls I pass by in the trees. I'm much too fidgety to sit there and scan trees well enough. ๐
Perhaps this owl also grew up decorating cakes.
