E J's been wantin' me to "fry" up one of my raptos...so here ya go!! This is a Spectacled Owl. Family Strigidae, Pulsatrix perspicillata

The spectacled owl lives in the rainforests of Central and South America. They acquired the nickname "crab owl" because of their habit of catching and eating crabs on riverbanks. The young may take as long as five years to reach adult plumage (head changes from white to black.) They stand 1.5 feet tall and have a 3 foot wingspan.

Any and all comments and critiques welcome!!

It looks like I am watching him in the microwave Rocker. I can't wait for the moose wings. Bigger and better then buffalo wings. Good work.
