Photographer Captured The Images Of A Tiny Owl Hiding From Rain Under A Mushroom

Animals & Nature Nov 02, 2023

Owls, just like hawks and eagles, are the tough guys of the bird world. They’re called raptors because they’re all about hunting, killing, and chowing down on other animals with their sharp claws and hooked beaks.

But here’s the cool part – owls are like the rebels of the bird gang. They’ve got these big noggins, strong bodies, feathers that feel like silk, short tails, and feet that can flex in all sorts of directions. Check out their eyes; they’re like ours, looking straight ahead. And here’s the kicker: most of these party animals are night owls – they’re out and about when the rest of the bird world is catching some Z’s.

The planet is crawling with around 250 different owl species. Seriously, they’re everywhere, except for the icy bits of Antarctica. These birds are super sneaky and use deep voices when they chat, so their calls can travel far without the bushes snitching on them. Learning their songs and other sounds is like finding their secret owl club.

This little owl is just a year and a half old, and she’s got an older sister named Poldi. Brandt’s all about capturing these amazing critters at the right moment. She’s all about taking strolls with her animal buddies and having them as her sidekicks. They’re like her posse, always there with her. How cool is that?
