Striped Owl

Costa Rica, March 2025

Wow, what a beauty. I’m familiar with the Spectacled and the Crested Owls of Costa Rica, but not so much the Striped. The triple black of the beak, eyes, and ears looks really good.

    Looks like a squishy (murderous) plushie. I so want to scritch its head and tickle its ears.

      The ears are amazing! Plushies and mammals are better for cuddles though. Birds feel like paper mâché to me.
