'Watching you' is a detail from my hand painted watercolour painting. In this detail the focus is on the eyes, which scrutinise the viewer intensely.

Watching you is a detail in landscape format from my watercolour painting I am watching you, which I painted in portrait format. In this detail, which only shows the head and part of the owl's upper body, the focus is on the eyes, which scrutinise the viewer intensely.
Here is the description of the original in portrait format:
I am watching you is a watercolor painting in portrait format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. An owl is sitting on a branch. It has lowered its head and looks at the viewer with a penetrating gaze from its bright orange eyes. The plumage is painted with loose brushstrokes in shades of blue and brown. The background is white with splashes of colour in the same shades as the owl's feathers.

Every morning, at least one bird reminds me that it's not the strength of the perch that matters.

It's a trust in one's wings.

Smiling Robin is a watercolor painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small European Robin with a bright orange breast stands on a light blue shadow. The background is minimalist and emphasises the colorful presence of the bird. The little bird looks towards the viewer and seems to smile at him in a friendly manner.
Like other songbirds, the robin is a welcome guest in my garden and always inspires me to create new paintings.

SHE DID IT AGAIN!

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg.

At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week and began interacting with a male.

This pair of jays had chosen an interesting nesting spot: a broken streetlight.

They were therefore used to people passing by and were not bothered by me. You can see them in the first photo trying to get their parents attention. A very nice experience with these beautiful birds!

A pair of jays nesting in a broken streetlight. The streetlight is an older one, with large round glasses inside of a metal frame. One glass is broken and is now the entrance to the birds nest.
Two chicks are raising their heads from the bottom of the nest trying to get food from the parent birds.

The same streetlight from a distance, the top part of the light is in the frame. The background consists of some trees and is blurred. Only one bird is sitting in the nest this time and is looking through the broken glass.

🦝🧠 Researchers have found that #raccoons pack a primate-like number of neurons into their small brains, including specialized cells once thought to be exclusive to #humans and great #apes.

This "neural density" helps explain their ability to solve complex puzzles and remember solutions for years, often outperforming #dogs and #cats.

The newly signed legislation follows reporting from Oregon Public Broadcasting and ProPublica that underscored the risks and costs associated with a plan to migrate salmon past hydroelectric dams using a giant fish collector and tanker trucks.
