Eyes like fire, wings like shadow. The silent ruler of the night…

Ranthambore… India

    Just the range of “expressions” they can make.

    Saw Whet is another good one, and of course the WFS!

    The only Burrowing Owl I got to see was in a bad mood, I think I startled it, but they sure do give a vicious angry face.

    I used to think the Snowy was largely internet hype, but I met one this year, and that guy was about the most charming semi-wild animal I ever saw! So handsome, so much character. It’s hyped, but the hype is real! I don’t think it’d be my number 1 were I forced to choose, but it should be in everyone’s top 5 somewhere.
