There are a lot of superb owls on the internet, but this is one of my favorites.
I don’t know where this was filmed, but it’s a Eurasian Eagle-Owl (captive, as indicated by the jesses on her legs). You can see the family resemblance to our ubiquitous North American Great Horned Owl–both birds are in the genus Bubo. Gorgeous!
You win the internetz today! That is a superb owl indeed 🙂
