Barn Owl (Tyto furcata)

I had to come back a second day to get an acceptable photo of this perching male. The first day I found it, sleeping in a recessed area of a tall palm, it had its back to the outside and all I could see was a splash of brown feathers in the drabber surroundings of the palm fronds.

Wow, what a beauty. Glad you went back for another shot. The only one I've ever seen was one I released from a rehab center. Nicely done!
