That caption is so accurate

When I’m out with our education birds there’s always at least one person who saw an owl near their house and wants me to somehow tell them what sort of owl it was. With my magic powers, I guess. Around here if it’s not a tiny owl it’s pretty likely to be either a great horned owl or a barn owl, though. So I try stuff like “was it HUGE or just kinda big in the wings?” or “was it kinda dark brown or really light-colored?” and those never get me anywhere. So I ask them if they heard the owl make a sound, and if they did, was it a hoot, or did it sound like the screaming of the souls of the damned? The barn owl is the second one. 😀

Bless the zoologists of the Internet, the videos they take and the anecdotes they tell.
