From Mikael Karine Trchn

Hello friends, I’m sharing with you this photo of a barn owl that I received from a friend who lives in the desert of southern Africa. Have a great day.

Coucou les amis je vous partage cette photo d une chouette effraie reçu d une amie qui est dans le desert du sud de I Afrique. Passez une chouette journée.

I believe this is a nest made by the Sociable Weaver. These nests are large enough to hold over 100 pairs of weavers, making them possibly the largest bird-made structures.

    Awesome! I knew you were going to be just fine, and I’m glad to know it went swimmingly well for everyone but the sound guys, but as long as everyone had fun and no one got hurt, and it was successful, it was a win!

    Cheers, my friend!

      They had lots of people scrambling to rescue them, so they got to enjoy an outpouring of compassion! 😄

      Thank you for all your positive support!

          I was going to say sometimes the small things can make a big difference, but that actually reminded me of another story from the weekend!

          The one head lady at the clinic was saying someone called up with a scarily diseased racoon she was handling bare handed, but the call turned into a human rescue! Through the conversation of trying to help the racoon, this lady seemed to be in some kind of abusive situation with a violently drunk spouse, so now she had 2 species in crisis to deal with over the phone!

          I don’t know what happened with the lady, but the raccoon did get picked up by another clinic, but you never know who’s going to call the animal helpline! 😦
