Superbowl

Before I started posting here, I was ready to delete my Facebook, but it's really the only way the rescues communicate online, so I put all the ones I featured in my 50 states of owls work in there, so now I get all that. Then it started recommending me groups of owl specific, though sometimes not, photography groups.

So that gives me the bulk of my stuff. I think some people do not like that much of my stuff has Facebook links, but it's my only real endless supply of original content I can attribute to its actual creator and it has stuff I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. For example, for tomorrow I have a video of people giving an owl an examination to determine the extent of its injuries. I have no clue where else I'd find that to share.

For things where I want to find a specific owl, like a Mottled Wood Owl where it's not going to be in one of. My primarily US based rescues, I'll head to Flickr. I still trust most of that to attribute to the original photographer because many will have stories of how they got the shot. It's also what I used for much of the Owl of the Year, though I had to resort to Google to fill out some of the rarer species like the Blakiston's Fish Owl.

My main goals are to credit the rescue workers and photographers doing the actual work, and secondarily to show you things that would be hard to find anywhere else, primarily on Reddit. I want you to have a reason to come here specifically.

Google helps me find research papers and anatomical pictures. The Owl-natomy stuff is my big original content for you guys cuz I don't have camera gear or patience to get amazing pics, so I'll try to ELI5 the research, as much as I can understand it myself at least.

Lastly I use Google News search to find news articles that can sometimes send me off to explore something I didn't think of to share with you rather than the actual article.

It's a lot of curation, and I try not to think how much time I put into it, but it feels you guys really enjoy it. All I want in return is for you guys to talk about things in the comments to let me know what you like best or to ask questions or let me know how the content makes you feel. I want it to be a space we can learn or just have fun and joke around, but also learn how we can help nature and support those doing this important work.

That's probably more of an answer than you were looking for, but I always share the links to try to encourage you all to do some exploring of your own that you can share back here.
