Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo)

This morning, Cathy, Lisa, and I drove down to the Sun River Nature Center about 25 minutes south of Bend. It’s a nice, little nature center with a pretty and very peaceful pond in the back. There were swans, as well as ducks and geese on the pond. They have a few birds kept in captivity, including Luna, a Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo). She was hatched at a wildlife center in 2020 and was brought to Sun River Nature Center at the age of one month. Because she grew up with significant human contact, she is very comfortable with the staff and volunteers. She’s also beautiful.
