Description

One of my own favourite owls with the heart shaped face created by the spectacled frame when which they get the name, this fairly young bird seemed to overcome its shyness when it seemed more than curious by its own reflection from my Telezoom lens! The Spectacled Owl is a medium to large sized owl (13-15 in. in length). There is no other member of the Genus Pulsatrix nor any similar owl in North or Central America although two other similar owls of the Genus exist in South America. It has very conspicuous white eyebrows and lores on a dark brown facial disk. Narrow white stripe around the upper throat divide the dark brown upper chest band from its head. Its stomach and chest are buff and its backside is dark brown. It has bright brown/yellow eyes and a creamy bill. The juvenile is whitish overall with a blackish facial disk. The opposite of the adult.. Thanks for taking time to look and any comments you care to make
