would love to see some interesting owls :]

Here is a leucistic and albino screech owl! With such large eyes it really makes the difference between the two really loud and clear!

And I’m obsessed with how melanism in owls seems to turn them dark brown rather than solid black! Here is a barn, ural, and barred owl!

Ural Owl (Strix uralensis)

The Ural Owl was given its scientific and common names by Peter Simon Pallas in 1771, due to the type specimen having been collected in the Ural Mountains of Russia. It is referred to in various languages by various names, some of which translate to "attacking owl", "long tailed owl", and "goshawk-owl". They are thought to be closely related to Tawny Owls.
