The Verreaux’s eagle owl is the one owl that I’ve seen the most of in my six trips to Africa. That being said, it’s still a fairly rare sighting. It’s the third heaviest owl in the world and fourth longest (just behind the great gray owl). I’ve always liked the pink eyelids that make the Verreaux’s eagle owl look like it’s wearing colorful eye shadow. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/80th of a second
