Superb Owl time again.

There was a viral typo a few years ago that led to bird and wildlife fans declaring Superb Owl Sunday. As an Owl admirer, I am pleased that these very cool birds get some extra attention around International Taylor Swift Day.

They are amazing creatures, every day. Thanks for posting that article, I love reading about all kinds of kindred animals, wild and tame.

. . . images containing that name are not permitted to be used by other businesses for commercial gain. However, everyone is permitted to post images containing the wording "Superb Owl."
