Verreaux's Eagle-Owl

[Callie]

Verreaux's Eagle-Owl, Bubo lacteus, Reuse-ooruil, Milchuhu, Blaßuhu, Bufo-leitoso, Grand-duc de Verreaux, Verreaux-oehoe, Giant Eagle Owl ~ Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
With simmer temperatures into the 40's C, one often finds owls on the ground next to the bole of threes where it seems to be a bit cooler. We were driving on the Auob road and saw what looked like a newspaper caught in the bottom of the tree. As we got closer, got turned out to be the tail of this owl moving in the wind.
