Bird of Prey



I thought this owl I saw at the San Francisco Zoo has beautiful feathers. Looks like he or she was getting a little tired since this is a nocturnal bird of prey.

It looked a bit reserved. BTW -I heard the other day that their reputed "wisdom" was a myth, and probably based on the fact that there faces has a kind of "human" appearance.

There went a lot of fairytales.

Owls are very interesting birds, don't you think? And beautiful too!

Splendid photograph, marvellous bird, amazing colours in his plumage! They say a lot of histories for this birds, and good and villains. In this birds I admire for two things, the without their noise technique in the hunting, and their enormous patience!

I've been gone for a couple weeks so I just did a quick review of your pictures. I love all the animals and the crooked play house. That's great that you got to meet Neva.

Beautiful picture. I'm also technical by trade... but I want to be a writer, photographer, or some other artistic type person when I grow up. ;) (or when I retire, which will probably come first lol)
