Description
Another shot of this desert eagle owl often called the Pharaoh Eagle-Owl is an attractive bird of prey with striking, large orange-yellow eyes and mottled plumage. The head and upperparts are tawny and densely marked with black and creamy-white streaks and blotches, while the underparts are pale creamy-white, with black streaks on the upper breast and fine reddish-brown vermiculations on the lower breast and belly.
The face has the disc-like form typical of most owls, defined by a dark rim, the robust bill is black and hooked, and the head is crowned with small ear tufts. There are two recognised subspecies of pharaoh eagle-owl, Bubo ascalaphus ascalaphus and Bubo ascalaphus desertorum , the latter being smaller and paler with sandier colouration

Breath-taking and superb capture of the flight of this owl.
awesome shot!
wonderful shot
A lovely capture of this Eagle-Owl it looks to have its eye on its prey.
That face is really unusual and it keeps me looking to find the similarity to other owls I'm familiar with. The body is shorter and bulkier but the look is just as piercing.
Superb capture my friend.
Your bird shots continue to blow me away and with your info I am actually learning something about raptors. Now if I just had some to photograph:)
A magnificent bird and a wonderful job of capturing the movement!
wonderful, the eye says it all.
