It's 6 pm here, but since you all are from all over, this is probably close enough to the middle.

Most of us have probably only been here about 6 months, but I've enjoyed all my superb time with you all this year. I look forward to the upcoming year with all of you, and everyone new we pick up along the way!

I hope I keep finding great owl photos and news stories for you to look forward to, and that they bring you a smile every day!

Happy New Year to you and everyone in the community!

Honestly, I had NO idea there were so many different kinds of owls before I started seeing your information posts. It's been a joy reading them. Thank you and can't wait to see what shenanigans we get up to this year.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Same here. I expected maybe 80 or 100 owls, not 250ish!

It's also impressive that they've remained so mysterious to us, even though humans have been fascinated with them for tens of thousands of years. There are so many owls we still don't know for sure where they live or what they eat, etc .

But as soon as we do find out, I'll tell you! 😉

💚 happy New Year all! It's been fun, hopefully even more Owl goodness next year

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Lots more owls we haven't even covered yet, so no worries!

Thank you for hanging around so long, you're one of the early regulars, so I'm glad to always see you pop in.

Seeing a number of you hang around has always kept me just as motivated as seeing the new people. I know I'm doing something right if you guys keep coming back! ☺️

[–] bmsok@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's owlways a good time when you post. Happy new year!

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm glad you have a hoot reading them. Happy New Year to you too!

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for keeping this going, I thank you for all the aloof, mysterious owl pictures that brightened a difficult year. And the owl competition.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, I hope this year will be better for you, and I'm here to do what I can to help with that! I am already excited for and dreading the next Owl of the Year! 😅

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks, there's a lot of effort gone into this community from where it started.
