The Philippine Eagle Owl

I'm fortunate to be one of the WBPP (Wild Bird Photographers of the Philippines) photographers documenting the majestic Philippine Eagle Owl, a true giant among owls, at La Mesa Eco Park in October 2022. I hope to encounter this incredible bird again soon. Happy Anniversary, WBPP!"

Gorgeous coloring. Expression in every photo has the "come at me bro!” vibe.

I was just thinking his wings looked like a boxer's robe before a fight, but then I noticed he's got uneven pupil dilation, so it either makes him look crazy or he's doing his best to psyche you out. 🤪

They are very lucky indeed.

For sure! Imagine being paid to follow this fluffy fellow around...

I don't know how I'd fair in Philippine weather though; it sounds a bit hot and sticky.

It sure look like a beautiful countries but I believe I'd love my non-tropical climat better. Philipino people might find it cold and gloomy though!

This is why photos exist. We can enjoy it all from our preferred environment! 😜
