Went to an open house at the Wildlife Center today and to my utter surprise, they have an Eagle Owl - gorgeous creature ! I do not know the story behind it , but tomorrow, I may find out as they are supposed to bring him out again at that time ....in which case, I may get more/better image of him (or, her) and I will post them also. These guys are supposedly rare on this side of the Atlantic ! ??

Canon 80D, Canon 70-300 IS II nano, handheld, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/320, @ 106mm, open shade light.

Nice shot. Just wondering....why do they call it an eagle owl? Why not just an owl?

Beautiful shot Larry. I was lucky enough to see one of these once. It was perched atop a tree, and at first I didn't know what it was, but when he moved, I saw what was the biggest owl I have ever seen. He was the size of a Toddler.
