“The screech owls have been nonetheless upset,” Joder wrote in his Instagram caption. He calls it a “comical scene.”
The second itself occurs so shortly, you’ll miss it should you blink on the improper time. Fortunately, Joder slows the footage down for a replay after it first performs in realtime. Maybe the ethical of this story is that screech owls could also be tiny, however they clearly don’t fiddle.
