Big-eyed, big-eared, a sight for sore eyes!

Big-eyed, big-eared, a sight to behold!

Alex-55-boy, I agree! .. an interesting, beautiful specimen! Thank you, Alexander!

Cool

Cool!

Svetlana Shapiro, Thank you, Svetlana! I was impressed by the size of this owl. I couldn't even imagine it was a long-eared owl, even though it does have ears. It seemed twice as big as the ones I've seen before and since. But the internet didn't suggest any other name.

Good luck!!!

Good luck!!!

Nikolay Kondakov, Thank you, Nikolay! The background was really bad, I couldn't figure out how to fix it for a long time!

Three owls regularly sleep during the day in a tall poplar tree across from my entrance. But they're very high up, at least 400 mm... They're masters of camouflage! People pass by and sometimes ask, "What am I looking for up there?" I say, "There's an owl sitting there!" They can't see it; it practically blends in with the tree's bark. Thank goodness, they're less bothersome.

Well, thank God, they're less of a nuisance.

Yuri Mukhanov, I understand perfectly well; I have a similar experience with hawks, although their nests aren't always high up. And this year nothing worked out at all, I found a nest, looked in on them occasionally, waited for the chicks to grow up, but the summer was terribly hot and without rain at all (during the nesting season) ... I was worried that it was very difficult for hawks to survive, and that's what happened, the chicks died, and some of the moments that I saw sank into my soul ... I will not be able to forget!
