Ones not from my camera seem to work, but any of the owl stuff I shot in my trip is being flagged. I was all excited to share some original content, but now it isn’t letting me for some reason.
I don’t think I got into specifics, but we went to Pittsburgh. We were originally supposed to go to Michigan, but that got cancelled. I already scheduled the owl encounter for the way home, so we just extended our trip there.
The National Aviary had Cedar, who was not actually on exhibit, and there was a pair of Eurasian Eagle Owls, one Barred Owl, and I ran into one Burrowing Owl. I was excited for that, since it was my third attempt to see one, but my first success. The Burrow Owl was most NOT excited to see me, so that was a little disappointing, but then I spotted the Nicobar Pigeon I mentioned in my post the other week about Andaman and Nicobar, so that was fun. There was also some Owl-Faced Something songbird I got pics of, and 2 adult and 2 juvi Condors, who were huge, and also a pair of gigantic Sea Eagles.
The Carnegie Institute of Natural History had amazing dinosaur displays I enjoyed as much as the Smithsonian, and they had about a dozen owl specimens of various quality that were nice to give a size comparison between species, and a very beautiful diarama of a GHO vs skunk.
There were a few owl art things I saw, especially in The Zenith restaurant’s owl themed bathroom.
The Pittsburgh Zoo did not have any owls. I was also very sad that they have Pygmy Hippos, but they were not on display. 😞 Hippos are another fav of mine and that would have been a great surprise. They did have a momma gorilla with a tiny baby and the big cats were all very active and playful, which were all fun to watch. They’re normally always napping like regular cats. We also met a retired zookeeper of 42 years who still volunteers there and he gave us a ton of info on the Red Pandas and Komodo Dragons.
I’m sure there’s other stuff owl related in forgetting, plus some other fun stops too, like the Fallingwater house, which is absolutely amazing.
Man I hate cloud flare, it never lets me into sites on librewolf even when I disable RFP and other stuff. Wish I could offer more advice or tips to help
I haven’t heard back from the Lemmy.World support yet. It seems I can upload things not originating from my phone, but not pics I took. It’s a Pixel, so it’s not like it’s some obscure thing. I wanted to just give some photo dumps for you guys, but now it looks like I’ll have to re-save them all to see if I can fix the formatting or whatever is up.
Gotcha. That sucks that you have to re-save them, I hope it’s a quick fix and that the support people get back to you with an answer, cause it’s definitely mind boggling.
This one worked! I can see the photo of the great toupee owl

That’s so frustrating!! You know we would all love to see some owl OP. I wish I understood the tech behind Lemmy more and had some advice to offer.
I at least wanted to show you guys the Screech Owl we got to hold. It was a real cutie!
I’ll get something figured out. I took so many owl and owl related pics though, so it’s gonna be a minute!
I’m looking forward to seeing your pics. Hopefully it works out soon. Where did you go? Sorry if I missed you saying before.
