Owls are about as badass as animals get. Just completely fascinating and awesome creatures. I’ve seen a couple of Great Horned Owls out on my parents property and they are super impressive birds. Big mofos. Barn owls are just incredibly beautiful. So cool.
I have a bit of an obsession with hawks and my dad always said he’d love to be reincarnated as one.
csb - was golfing with friends at MoWilly and one of them biffs one into the woods. We drive over to try and find it and see a red tailed hawk chilling on a lower branch. All kind of pause and watch then out of nowhere another larger hawk lands next to her, mounts her and they birdfuck. Literally have been watching and looking at hawks my entire life and never seen them mating. Fast forward 2 days and I’m walking around my folks place hitting the one hitter and just relaxing. I see a very nice red tailed again on a branch and watch for a bit, then AGAIN another larger RTH lands next to the female and climbs on up for some more birdfucking. Very strange to see those two incidents so close to one another. Mostly was just glad I didn’t get an erection either time.
