Not much you need to say about these birds.
The Great Horned Owl is found in both North and South America. They stand about 2 feet tall, have a 5 foot wing span, and weigh 4 pounds.
They have a loud deep call that will wake a photographer in the middle of night, cause them to sit up, even sneak outside to listen.

Slightly smaller than the North American Barn Owl.

He forgot about everything else around him.
Brown Wood Owls are found in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Taiwan, and south China. Their call is more like a scream than what we would think of as an Owl call.
They need dense forests to survive, an ongoing problem. In addition Wood Owls are even more nocturnal than most Owls.

Because they seem to like posing for photographs…
This guy must have caught a shine or something off my long lens. He focused on me, moved his head around (their eyes don’t turn), keeping his attention on me for a long time.
Barred Owl.
Sometimes Black & White fits an image perfectly.

A quick post here because…
who doesn’t like an Owl.
You can see the huge claws on this Owl as he flew in for food. This is the Eurasian Eagle Owl.
Always considered the biggest Owl in the world recently another rare species was found to rival his size.
This bird is the size of an Eagle, very big.

Since we shoot the Barred Owls fairly often this image was processed in black and white.
Just to be different.
