This long-eared owl shot stands out to me as love the way the "Ears" look completely relaxed and at ease with my presence. I love the details in the feathers have been able to capture with these beauties.

I'm glad you like it!
This is one of my favorite normal owls for my part of the world, but I feel it doesn't get much love around here.
People have really fallen for the Flammulated Owl, which is less common and to me looks similar to the Long Eared, just much smaller. Not sure why the bigger, fluffier one wouldn't get a similar reception.
Oh well, more Long Ears for us!
It amazes me how well they blend in their environment. I love owls.
That, plus super vision, super hearing, super strength, and near silent flight! They've got so much going for them.
Plus most are really cute!
