A wise bird but quite the predator too with how it can just sneak up on prey absolutely silently 🙂 Reply
Oh my..he was actually flying when the handler was bringing him out to the perch. Not a whisper of wings were heard. Incredible! Reply
Mother Nature made you with one mouth and two ears for a reason. Beautiful shot of this awesome bird! Reply
You would think eating would be more important than hearing. Guess not right? LOL ! Thank you Ilex for your compliment. Reply

They are quite the predators alright, no wonder no prey ever gets away from them 🙂

This owl really seemed like an old soul. Owls are indeed super cool.
