Todd Forsgren is the fantastic photographer whose vivid images of birds tangled in mist nets caused a bit of an internet stir a few years ago. I interviewed him about his images and his life birding in 2013.
At long last, Todd's mist net photos have been collected into a book called Ornithological Photographs, now out through Daylight publishing. I urge all forward-thinking birders out there, all the hip birders, to pick up a copy. You may not look at birds again the same way.
People are again clamoring for a crazy-colored owl! Thankfully, Snopes.com is once again on the case.
Back in 2012 I linked to an entry on Snopes.com - the online investigator of popular myths and rumors - about a "newly discovered" "rainbow owl." It's quite clearly a hack photoshop job, but that hasn't stopped the hordes of blinkered, googling citizenry from making it one of my all-time most visited posts (which, honestly, isn't that hard to do).
But apparently those devious tech geniuses are at it again. Behold, the teal owl!
