From Suffolk Owl Sanctuary

Meet Ember - a touch of magic to the skies. Ember is the same species as other barn owls seen in the UK, but he has extra melanin (pigmentation) in his feathers which makes him that gorgeous charcoal and orange! We think Ember is gorgeous!

Toasted to perfection, and absolutely gorgeous!

I love the unusual ones.

I haven't done any reading to see if melanism has any side effects like leucism does. I'll have to read up on that...

Some of the Masked Owls have nice colorations somewhat like this guy. We'll have to feature some of those soon too.
