Description

Photo taken in August, 2016 @ Eureka Texel, The Netherlands

There was a time when you saw these Owls everywhere; not so much anymore. Still, they're one of my favorites :) Their plumage is just stunning, the different colors of brown look particularly stunning in Autumn and Winter, such a warm hue :) And of course, those big, BIG eyes.
If you look closely, you an actually see M reflected in his eyes - she's dressed in white :giggle: Looking back, not the best choice, but hey, we were on vacation.

Species: Brown Wood Owl (Bruine Bosuil)

Latin name: Strix Leptogrammica

Originates from South Asia.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…Both sexes of the Brown Wood owl are similar.

…It belongs to the earless owl genus.

…The Brown Wood Owl has several sub-species, such as the Himalayan Wood-Owl, Bartel’s Wood-Owland Javan Wood-Owl, which all look and sound different.

…It’s call can variate from “(hoo) hoo hoo HOO” to a deep “goke-goke-ga-LOOO” or even a loud scream.
