Field Notes

Description:

The Eurasian eagle-owl is a very large bird, larger than the snowy owl. Besides the female being larger, there is little external sexual dimorphism in the Eurasian eagle-owl although the ear tufts of males reportedly tend to be more upright than those of females.

Habitat:

The Eurasian eagle-owl is found in a number of habitats but is mostly a bird of mountain regions, coniferous forests, steppes and other relatively remote places.
The couple in the pics lives in the reserve of Han sur Lesse.
