1 out of 4, I got an "F" 😅 but it was still fun. Thanks for the pop quiz :)

Is there such a thing as too many Screech Owls?? 😂 Hope things get better, and in the meantime, please have a virtual hug from an internet stranger! 🤗

I did! I agree, the video is a great illustration of the info here. Social media is pretty random, hope you keep learning and sharing for your own enjoyment :)

In Jerboa it also opens in an outside link, which is one reason I'm not partial to videos. But seeing those feathers not move and (not) hearing the sound of the owls flight would be hard to replicate in text. Great video!

This is super interesting, just like the feet! I had no idea that feathers served so many different functions. Thank you for this post and also for curating the links. That takes a lot of time!

You're right, that joint does look different with the two small articulations, though it's hard to tell if that's just the angle of the image. So interesting.

Same here

Oh nice, more goodies! Do you know offhand how it's possible for the toe to rotate? Is it not fixed in the joint as with other birds (and mammals)? Or something about where the joint attachment is located?

This is part of what is so well done about your post. There are so many surprises and misconceptions illuminated (at least for me who doesn't know much about owls). Thickened leg bones, weak beaks, rotatable talons, how can this be? Thanks again for this post.

This is amaaaazzzing! Thank you so much for all the research, clear summaries, and links. I had no idea that owls' feet were so specialized and different from other birds. I've learned a lot! Going to bookmark this keep rereading to absorb all the things.

You might have already done this, but a 'talons' post similar to this one on eyes would be very interesting. Thank you for this community!

Nice, thank you. That led me indirectly to a website also but somewhat more limited in scope: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-viewline-tonight-and-tomorrow-night-experimental

Me too. Does anyone know of sources to find out about upcoming events beforehand?

While it's true that the person who 'owns' the number will get points from whatever you buy, this is still very useful in those stores (increasingly many, anecdotally) where the price is a lot lower at checkout when you have a card or associated phone number. 'Discounts', I.e. un-jacked up prices, only available when you sell your data.

Cool, thanks for the tips!

Good to know. Are there any other leaf characteristics to look for when identifying plants? I was just thinking of shape and color, but there must be a lot more.
Houseplants is (I think) the only Mander community where I can't see posts on Jerboa (or rather can only see 4 posts) though web app works fine, showing pages of posts. Just curious as to why that might be, maybe language setup? Maybe just an idiosyncracy of Jerboa?
I wonder how (not) far the coffee industry might have gone without caffeine to kick it off in the first place. Ah, the circle of ~~life~~ ~~coffee~ ~ caffeine
