Okay so some people would probably say if Snatcher was a bird he'd be a crow or a raven, maybe even an owl.
I disagree. This sneaky son of a gun would be a potoo and you can fight me on that. It's literally called a "ghost bird"!

An important question about your user name; should I be picturing a ghost bird or a ghost bard?
And if a bird, are we talking dead bird spirit imprint, or a potoo?
Or
Pfpfpfpf valid question. I go by GhostBIRD. Somehow fitting for my Robin obsession I’ll admit, but coincidentally Batman or adjacent fandoms didn’t have anything to do with that choice in username.
I used to sketch a lot of skeletal/surreal animals (and birds) and was very into subtle horror. I ended up stumbling across a book (and later the movie) “Annihilation” by Jeff Vandermeer, where the main character had the nickname “Ghostbird” and… it stuck with me. Also it helped very much that when I googled GhostBird and found the very real bird, the Potoo, it ended up being a wonderfully silly looking bird that’s just perpetually screaming which… is very on brand ngl.
so yeah, that’s how my username was born. A combination of sketching literal ghost birds, a killer book (and movie), and a silly looking bird that looks like it had too many espressos (mood). 🦉
As for what to picture… I’d like to say please think of me as an eerie spirit bird but… the potoo is much closer to reality lol.
