Must have been a flamingo in the woodpile.

That looks natural, not like something spilled on it.

Maybe it identifies as a ptarmigan.

The animal is perfectly perched on a telegraph pole...

Good to know they have cutting edge communications, up there in Michigan. We can tell them about climate change, and then they’ll blame it for turning their owls orange.

"Unusual Snowy Owl With Orange Feathers Is An "Owldorable" Mystery"

Owls are supposed to suggest wisdom. This one looks like a woke deviate.

Now that humans have arrived at the age of:
-photo-shop;
-computer generated images;
-Artificial Intelligence;
-etc., etc., etc.

It has become difficult to determine
what is real and was is not real.

It seems like only the tops of the wings and the head (and some on the tail) have the color. Nothing on the underside of the wings or the belly. I'll go with a dye (like the de-icer).

Either that or it's father was a ring-necked pheasant.

Waiting for the Garry Larson cartoon. “Heck of a birthmark you got there Hal.”

Regardless - it is normally a beautiful bird, and even more interesting now. I hope that it survives without its usual camouflage.
