Great Horned Owl’s broad, but short wings make them surprisingly maneuverable during flight. 

though the great tit is a small bird that isn’t particularly threatening, scientists made a surprising discovery about them: during winter months with scarce food, great tits feed on bats. normally feeding on a diet of mostly insects with added fruits, seeds, and nuts, great tits who were unable to find sufficient food preyed on bats hibernating in rocky crevices within caves. when provided more common food by researchers, the behavior stopped.

I opened the gift. I'm honestly surprised; it's really thoughtful--a sweater with a big cartoon owl in the center. It's one of those 'ugly Christmas sweater' style sweaters with a bunch of little birds lining the top and bottom. It's actually really cute. To my friend who gave me this, if you read this, thank you. I only wish I had thought to get you a gift; I'll make it up to you, I promise.

finally got it
