A ural owl perched and watching during a flight demonstration at the Avian Conservation Center in Awendaw, SC. The center focuses on rescuing birds of prey. There were several flight demonstrations during our visit, but this beautiful owl ruled the day. If you are in the Charleston, SC, area, this is a must see!

fantastic photo. I love owls and they are hard to catch where I've been. I always find them in the late evening or early morning.
