Description

Photo taken in July, 2013 @ ZieZoo, The Netherlands

Out of the blue, this Eurasian Eagle Owl, jumped onto the floor and started fanning out his wings, pushing them forward into this position.
I don't know whether it was some weird dance to impress his fellow birds, or an arrogant stance meant to impress us and warn us off.
