A Difference Between Two Owls
This barred owl is a beauty named Onyx, with the darkest eyes I've ever seen.
Next door are two snowy owls, Oberon and Luna, strikingly different in their feathers from Onyx. This one, seen today, is Luna, busy having a lunch of mouse.
Great shots of the Snowy owl. I was sad to hear of the passing of Raymond Moriyama and thought of the wonderful shots you have shown us of his war museum design.
I find owls in the wild are rather hard to see since they are out and about at night when I am in bed. I saw one once in the tree near my bathroom window so was really thrilled. They are a huge bird. Lovely to see you pics of them.
Owls are incredibly beautiful birds - I once missed my bus home through watching a hunting Barn Owl.
ReplyDeleteThat happens.
DeleteBeautiful photos. The fir tree sets off the beauty of Onyx.
ReplyDeleteToo bad snowy owls don't go for grilled cheese.
No, but that's their appetite.
DeleteFascinating birds for sure.
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteThe snowy owl is a real beauty.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteOnyx has appropriate name...😉
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
DeleteShould be able to find both of these species this winter. Always a great find.
ReplyDeleteYou'd know!
DeleteBeautiful owls and photos. I have been lucky to see both in the wild, always a treat to see the owls.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and happy new week!
I'd like to see them in the wild.

This is the first I'd heard of his passing.
DeleteOwls are amazing birds with special eyes and ears.

ReplyDeleteThey often blend in as well.
DeleteSuch beautiful birds, which always seem to have a wise knowing about them.
ReplyDeleteThey do.
DeleteThe snowy owl looks perennially surprised!
ReplyDeleteYes, quite an expression.
