tbh this is also true of many humans found in Massachusetts

@chrisamaphone I don’t think most Mass residents think much about rodenticide right now, but in the near-future, this could change!

anyway there’s allegedly 8 more owls also found in MA and they’re just as good as the Seattle ones but i’m too lazy to do all the voices

Nothing is more exciting than spotting an owl in your backyard if you live in Massachusetts. These magnificent birds of prey are a beautiful sight to behold.

by pictures i think the saw-whet is my favorite. also “named because its call sounds like a saw being sharpened on a whetstone” ok well i’ve never heard that but it sounds like a truck backing up beeping to me

@chrisamaphone they’re adorably tiny little guys, too
