Very stubborn owl. For the longest time he would not move. Free exercise and feeding are part of this owls routine. Part of a breeding program.

I just photograph these guys so I wasn’t sure why he would come back down at all. I found out the answer is simple, easy chicken.

There are some other owls with faces as expressive, the juvenile (click to view) Spectacled Owl is one.
Great photos
Thank you
