Western Barn Owl (f) - Tyto alba
Western Barn Owl (f) - Tyto alba

Galapagos Islands

This owl was in a larva tunnel, hence high iso and long exposure.
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is found all around the world. There are about 46 different species; the one found in the Galapagos is the smallest one.
The interesting shape of its face resembles a satellite in order to focus all noises to its ears. As they fly low, they are able to hunt mammals and reptiles. This is one of the very few bird species where the female has a more attractive plumage than the male. They lay between 3 to 6 eggs, and live about 2 years.

THANK YOU for your visits, comments and favs
