This barred owl was enjoying a bit of an appetizer course for breakfast. The unfortunate prey was an eastern lubber grasshopper. You can see the one orange leg still dangling from the owl’s beak. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1//1000th of a second
Interesting thought Salina. He is hunkered down in an odd position, hiding whatever talons (or legs, if you prefer) that he might have. I can assure you there were only two talons, but yes, a four legged owl would be quite a creature.

Nasty Muppet no owl—-Troll from under bridge he comes—-Holding with his eyes
This owl looks like he has 4 legs…which makes me think that an owl with 4 legs might be the creepiest/awesomest animal. think about it.
