Spotted Wood Owl

Spotted Wood Owl

Flaying Animal | Spotted Wood Owl | In the past, names Strix orientalis and Strix pagodorum have been used for this species, but both considered invalid. Race wiepkeni previously referred to by the synonym Surnia whiteheadi. Three subspecies recognized. The Spotted Wood Owl (Strix seloputo) is an owl of the earless owl genus, Strix. Its range is strangely disjunct; it occurs in many regions surrounding Borneo, but not on that island it self.

Bubo Sumatranus

Bubo Sumatranus

Flaying Animal | Bubo Sumatranus  | The Barred Eagle-Owl (Bubo sumatranus), also called the Malay Eagle Owl, is a species of owl in the Strigidae family. It is found in Brunei, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The owl is one group of birds of prey "raptor" which hunt their prey at night (nocturnal). Owls have a specific body characteristics that are different from other types of birds of prey, which is large and round heads wide, flat face and large eyes which oversees the fore, on the face plate line which is a divider in the face around the eyes. Almost all types of feather color pattern of owls is a blend of gray, brown, black and white. The combination is necessary in camouflage when hunting prey and avoiding enemies.

The Blakiston's Fish Owl

The Blakiston's Fish Owl

Flaying Animal | The Blakiston's Fish Owl | Massive owl with long, broad, horizontal ear-tufts. Pale grey-brown facial disc. Buff-brown, broadly streaked upperparts. Buff and dark brown barred wings. Pale tail with dark bars. White throat. Pale buffish-brown underparts with long streaks. Orange-yellow iris. Blakiston's Fish Owl, Bubo blakistoni, is a fish owl, a sub-group of eagle owls who specialized in hunting riparian areas. This species is a part of the family known as typical owls, Strigidae, which contains most species of owl. Surveys suggest that the fish owl population in the southern Russian Far East (encompassing all of Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsky Krai south from the Amur River) is approximately 100-130 pairs. With extrapolation to the entire fish owl range, the population could be more than 800 pairs. Recent surveys estimate one pair of Blakiston's fish owls every 3.8 river km along the Samarga River in northern Primorye, possibly the highest natural concentration of this species globally. Concentrations of breeding pairs in suitable habitat are generally described as one pair every 6-12 river km.

The Great Horned Owl

The Great Horned Owl

Flaying Animal | The Great Horned Owl | Great Horned Owls can vary in colour from a reddish brown to a grey or black and white. The underside is a light grey with dark bars and a white band of feathers on the upper breast. They have large, staring yellow-orange eyes, bordered in most races by an orange-buff facial disc. The name is derived from tufts of feathers that appear to be "horns" which are sometimes referred to as "ear tufts" but have nothing to do with hearing at all. The large feet are feathered to the ends of the toes, and the immature birds resemble the adults. Females are 10 to 20% larger than males.

The Snowy Owl

Flaying Animal | The Snowy Owl | The ghostlike snowy owl has unmistakable white plumage that echoes its Arctic origins. The Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) is a large owl of the typical owl family Strigidae.

The bird is also known in North America as the Arctic Owl, Great White Owl or Harfang.

The Great Grey Owl

The Great Grey Owl

Flaying Animal | The Great Grey Owl | This is the largest bird of the owl, but very light weight, similar to the Wedge-Tailed Eagle Australia. Great horned owls are adaptable birds and live from the Arctic to South America. They are at home in suburbia as well as in woods and farmlands. Northern populations migrate in winter, but most live permanently in more temperate climes.

The Eurasia Eagle Owl

The Eagle Owl has a wingspan of 138–200 cm (55–79 in) and measures 58–75 cm (23–30 in) long. Females weigh 1.75-4.5 kg (3.9-10 lbs) and males weigh 1.5-3.2 kg (3.3-7 lbs).
