These two birds look like depressed.

They must repeat this same scenario every day. Whoever gives in first loses. ๐Ÿ˜ต

This is the first photo I've seen of an owl that doesn't look mad as hell and ready to rip your face off.

The wood owls seem to look the most consistently gentle in photos I've seen. I've really grown a soft spot for them.

I feel bad it's about to get its day ruined! ๐Ÿ˜”

Here's a couple more happy ones for you:

Baby Screech Owl

Spotted Wood Owl

Baby Dusky Eagle Owl

Snowy Owl

This one looks more or less tired of this ravens Shit.

Poor owl just wants to nap. This is a big bird to get bonked by.

That watermark is super distracting and seems to be placed in precisely the most noticeable location possible. Feels like the photographer wanted their own name to be equally as important as the subject which ironically ended up taking away from the subject for me.

The one group I follow has been having a discussion on this recently, as some are even more excessive than this.

I can somewhat understand it, but at a certain point, you either want to share a pic publicly or you don't.

We're not a huge audience here, but that's why I pretty much only share things I can link to an original source.
