About These Birds
Eurasian Eagle-Owl
The Eurasian eagle-owl is one of the largest owl species in the world, with females sometimes reaching a wingspan of nearly two meters. Its deep booming call can be heard up to four kilometers away on calm nights. These apex predators sit at the top of the avian food chain, preying on other raptors including buzzards and smaller owls.

Weighing about 95.5g with a wingspan of 28.8cm, it is characterized by its unfeathered tarsi, which distinguish it from other Cuban owls.
