| Owls are a group of birds of prey. Most are solitary and nocturnal, with some exceptions (e.g. the Burrowing Owl). They are classified in the order Strigiformes, in which there are over 200 extant species. Owls mostly hunt small mammals, insects, and other birds, though a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Though owls are typically solitary, the literary collective noun for a group of owls is a parliament. |

Hi Vera,
I like very much your phot because of the subject - Owls - and because of the quality of this picture. Congratulation, Dan
Olá Vera.
Lindo exemplar de Speotyto cunicularia.
Eu acho esse seres de hábitos noturnos fantásticos, cheios de peculiaridades.
Há vários relatos de fotógrafos que ficaram cegos, ao se aproximarem demais desses animais; o bote é certeiro... e nos olhos!
Bem exposta; DOV natural e apurado.
Até mais,
José Roberto
