July 30th, 2010 at 3:34 amHey Ziggy I’m pretty sure they are a species of an Owl…….

July 30th, 2010 at 5:03 amThanks sicilian60. I love their eyes, the way they have such fine light coloured feathers around them. The eyes and claws definitely give them an owlish appearance.

July 30th, 2010 at 6:49 amDisplay of a different kind of emotion from an owl!! Not the usual one generally seen in shots, that of a predator. WOW.
Must have been difficult spotting it, since it seems to be pretty well camouflaged. -

July 30th, 2010 at 6:28 pmIs it a screech owl? I know it’s an owl, that’s for certain though.

July 31st, 2010 at 3:10 amThis is a wonderful shot of owl behavior! They look much like the Burrowing Owls here in the States. They live in burrows in the ground, have long legs, and can stretch or shorten their bodies like slinky toys! I wish all photographers would remember to submit the location of the photo as well as the bird species if known–makes it much easier on those of us who can’t travel the world to seek out new birds for our Life Lists!
