1st of Owltober Four weeks after a critical head injury this Great Horned Owl showed huge signs of improvement thanks to expert care from the team at Shades of Hope Wildlife Refuge in Ontario, CA.

Draped in a vanilla towel before a wall of wood panels painted mossy sage, a Great Horned Owl stares at camera with wide yellow eyes. The owl's chest plumage is tabby-patterned and calico-toned in shades of black white and ginger. The ear-like tufts for which the species is named are raised at 11 and 1 o'clock. They're mostly black, with tan highlights along the inside track, giving the impression of Unicode character U+223 (ȣ) much like the symbol for Taurus the bull. The owl expresses a photogenic sort of anger, and like a bull, looks ready to impale any who come near.

A woman who was 18 and suffering longstanding trauma from a lifetime of sexual abuse when she committed a horrific murder 30 years ago is about to be executed. Meanwhile blokes who rape women after a lifetime of entitlement have to write essays to get away with it and never be held accountable.

Researchers wrap tiny Saw-Whet Owls in cloth bags to keep them calm. Linked story is about a grassroots banding project by All About Birds / Cornell Lab of Ornithology: allaboutbirds.org/news/a-grass... Want to donate to Cornell Lab? give.birds.cornell.edu Photos: CHRIS LINDER 💛🦉 #owlsintowels

A Saw-Whet Owl is pouched in a cotton draw-string bag in the hands of a bander. She looks directly at camera with eyes yellow and wide: one eye lit from above-left, the other occluded in shadow. Feathers are muted brown with streaks of cream-white radiating from the eyes. The pouch is white with light blue stripes like the Uruguayan flag (1828-1830). In the background atop a wooden desk and out of focus is a chart with bars of yellow - likely for registering the hue of each banded owl's eyes as part of the migration research.

Three identical pouches are strung from a horizontal cord, affixed with wooden clothes pegs like garments on a washing line. The pouches, I think it's safe to assume, are laden with one Saw-Whet Owl each. Some trust has been placed in the springs of the pegs, given that these little goobers typically weigh around 80 grams or 2.8 ounces. For reference that's the weight of a very small banana, or a hefty lemon, but those things rarely try to escape once put in a bag.

The toes on this Great Horned Owl were swollen and infected from an entanglement of some kind. Rehabilitators at Red Wolf Sanctuary gave him daily spas with Epsom bath salts to help his recovery. Want to donate RWS? www.redwolf.org/general-dona... Source: fb.com/346353914373... #owlsintowels 💛🦉

A Great Horned Owl is neck deep in water in a stainless steel mixing bowl, with a navy blue towel draped over his back. The camera is looking down into the bowl from an oblique angle, and the owl cranes his head up to flash his buttercup yellow eyes. His expression however is anything but buttery. Nay, it one of immense rage on the brink of manifesting in unspeakable acts of violence.

Out of the mixing bowl and into the hands of the Red Wolf rehabilitator (pictured behind, wearing a pomegranate-red tee), the owl continues his look of fury at the camera. Wet plumage on his chest is matted and scraggly, while his plumicorn feathers (a.k.a. 'horns') are slicked back and to the sides, with a few flyaway feathers pointing left and right like he's the titular character of 'Hey Arnold!'. The rehabber holds the owl's ankles and points his toes and talons at camera for easier inspection. The pink pads on the owl's feet match the marshmallow towel in which he is partially wrapped.

An orphaned Eurasian Eagle-Owl chick was dehydrated on admission to GREFA Wildlife Rescue Center in Madrid, Spain. Special care & diet will help him grow until he is ready to return to the wild. Want to donate to GREFA? grefa.org/socios-y-pad... Source: instagram.com/p/DVYzi5DjPfG #owlsintowels 💛🦉

A young Eurasian Eagle-Owl is partially wrapped in and supine upon a towel patterned butter-yellow and white. His head is turned to face the rehabilitator off-camera, who wears white nitrile gloves, and pinches the owl's ankles between fingers to keep him immobile for treatment. With luck this will also keep the carer safe from the sharp talons spread anisodactyl like a trio of upholstery needles bottom of frame.

The youngster now looks directly at camera, with beak and bright lava-orange eyes wide open, expressing alarm. He's covered in ashy-white fuzz typical of nestlings, and could be mistaken for either very cute dryer lint, or strawberries after 24 hrs in the fridge.

Stories like this Great Horned Owl being rescued from a vehicle grill happen approx once a year at Ojai Raptor Center. He broke his fibula but remarkably is expected to fully recover. Want to donate to ORC? www.ojairaptorcenter.org/donate Source: fb.com/569108992446... #owlsintowels 💛🦉

This Great Horned Owl is big mad. Plumicorns? Up. Brow? Furrowed. Pupils? The size of dinner plates. He is half-wrapped in a cream blanket, which combined with thick leathery gloves on his torso means the rehabilitator (behind in a light-blue polymer medical gown) is partially protected from the owl's wrath. It cannot be overstated how angry the owl looks.

A Ruru luckily sustained no major injuries after hitting a window, and began flight training after just 10 days of rehab. To donate to Wildbase Hospital click foundation.massey.ac.nz/donate-online and select Wildbase Research Fund under Designation. Source: fb.com/151915092357... #owlsintowels 💛🦉

A Ruru / Morepork is an exemplary owl in a towel, wrapped in plain white fabric like a burrito, except instead of rice, beans and salad you get a live bird. His/her eyes are the colour of rich amber, looking alert and slightly left of camera. Feathers are brown like a medium roast coffee, with accents of cream and caramel around the forehead and chest. Reflected in the owl's pupils are a trio of ceiling lights: bands of light that narrow with perspective and appear arched due to the curvature of the owl's eyes, which altogether makes them look like WiFi symbols 🛜v🛜.
