#savetheowls

Owls are amongst the most ecologically and culturally important group of birds in India. They act as biocontrol agents due to their predation of rodent and insect pests in agricultural and urban landscapes. Not only does this reduce the dependence of pesticides in agricultural areas but also preventing the spread of zoonotic diseases.

Snowy owl for yesterday, since I was distracted, yet again, by the Sims, rather than taking the 20 minutes to draw the diddly-darn picture. The reference was Hedwig, of course 😉🦉 ⭐️ ⭐️ #inktober #snowyowl #inktober2019 #savetheowls #raptor #birdsofprey #owl #who #drawing #art #dailydrawingchallenge #digitalink #procreate #digitalart #nature #wildlife #noplanetb #conservation #preservation #artforgood #theartofkt https://www.instagram.com/p/B35rQtogPIE/?igshid=efpgovhd1i0c

Attracting a mate, or attacking an intruder? This male Short Eared Owl 🦉 actually claps it’s wings together to do both... kinda like the human male species on a typical Saturday night! The wonders of #nature! #SaveTheOwls SaveTheWildlife #BeautyOfNature 📷Photo by @protik_photography #Repost @nature ・・・ A male Short eared Owl displaying the wing clapping behavior ✨ “When a male displays to a female or attempts to ward off an intruder, he snaps his wings together below his body in a burst of two to six claps per second, producing a sound that sounds like applause.” Photo by @protik_photography #nature https://www.instagram.com/p/BoEucd_llqr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uqedl3h3v3tj
