Dusky Eagle Owls

Another unique species of eagle owl.

I'd like to tell you about these guys, but very little is known about them.

The only really best fact is that they almost exclusively use stick nests built by the Wooly Neck Stork.

As a reminder, owls do not make their own nests. The fate of owls is bonded to that of other species and specific types of trees and trees of a certain age. That's why we can't focus on saving specific organisms; everything is linked to the success of numerous other creatures.

If you didn't see the introduction to the Spot Bellied Eagle Owl from the other day, make sure you check that out too!

I definitely feel weird saying this but the owl on the left looks kinda sexy

Couldn't agree more! The color and posture combined are just perfect to give them a very rugged, yet prestigious look to them.

The 2 in the title post really embody that Teddy Roosevelt in the Rough Riders swagger.

I really liked the flying photo also. It doesn't have a flat face like many owls do. It looked like a swole Peregrine.

I cannot think how you could get a more excellent pose. I really love that pic!

These owls remind me of the women from The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Well, they are fabulous!

But I think it's pronounced Real Owls' Wives of Atlanta.

Wow owls really are the cats of the bird world

I'm campaigning for cats to be ground owls instead of owls being sky cats.

Owls have all powers cats have, plus flight.

Owls evolved 15 million years ago, while cats are 10-12 million, so owls have been doing it longer as well.

That puts the owls as the example in my book! 😁
