Eagle Owl

A Eurasian Eagle Owl.

Feature quality and a much better example of a Eurasian Eagle Owl than we currently have. At least I'm fairly sure its an Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo).

Needs:

• Moving to Commons
• Confirmation of identification
• Placing on Eurasian Eagle Owl

  • Wasn't it already at commons? here? I can't confirm/identify it, sorry. Broken S 23:36, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I think you are right. And the Commons caption is good enough for confirming identification. This picture has been on my interesting pictures list for quite a while, but it looks like it has been on Commons for more than a year. Perhaps there was a German version shadowing it when I first found it. -- Solipsist 00:16, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
