These amazing eyes belong to a female Eurasian Eagle Owl we saw at the Flagstaff Festival of Lights last month.
I didn’t get her name but she’s a friend of the Flagstaff Arboretum’s male Eagle owl, Malachai.
They are often mistaken for eagles since their wingspan can reach 79 inches. That’s nearly 7 feet!!!

Hi there,
Just happened upon your blog here and love it. Your photography is exquisite. I am a watercolorist, digital artists and photographer depending on my mood, of course and have often been ssked to paint owls.
May I have your permission to paint this owl? I love the close-up. If not, I say it’s an excellent shot. I used to live and work at the Grand Canyon and never realized the cool stuff like owls that are in Flagstaff!
I hope to follow your blog on a regular basis. I also like how you find images in clouds, etc. Very neat.
Take care.
Beverly
Thanks for your kind feedback, Beverly 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed viewing your work too!
You’re welcome to paint her. She isn’t native to Arizona
so that’s probably why you didn’t see one when you were here.
