Almost done with this Alphabet Birds series. Hard to believe I am only down to five letters.
Guess what, I found a bird for the U post today..
URAL OWL
Never seen one of these beauties. So many species of owls. The Ural Owl is a large owl with a round head, no ear-tufts, and a long tail with a wedge shaped tip. Light and dark morphs are known to occur, with the light form being more common.
This may explain why I have not seen one of these owls. They reside here:
Northern Europe from Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Baltic Republics through northern Russia and Siberia to Korea, coast of the Okhotsk Sea, Sakhalin and Japan. Also locally in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia and Balkan countries.
Wish I could take credit for this beautiful photo. Wow, right!

i have been to russia but on the other side of the Ural mountains, never saw the owls other than in zoos
That is another experience worth talking about. I love the mountains. I have never heard of these before, or the mountains.
they are on the steppes of russia, i have only been to Moscow so never saw much of the mountains (the foothills only)
I have never seen. It’s very cute. I wish I could have one.
I love these as well. Beautiful!
Somebody knows how to take a great landing photo, of that beautiful looking owl.
(H)owl, I could never do that!
If you have the right camera equipment, it can be done. Tons of money. 🙂
I have to say that is a very beautiful owl. I have never seen or heard about such an owl.
He is a beauty. Would like to see one as well.
I haven’t seen any kind of owl yet. Although I would love to see her live someday.
I have seen a few but not this type.
