Description
THE STARE is a digital photograph of a European Eagle Owl by Carla Parris.
Mozart is one of the birds of prey at Leeds Castle in England. This photograph captures his piercing stare.
His orange eyes identify him as a crepuscular hunter who works at twilight (dusk and dawn), as well as nocturnally.
His tufted ears are one of the distinguishing characteristics of his species.
European Eagle Owls are one of the largest species of birds of prey. Their wingspan can reach over six feet.
Leeds Castle was owned by Henry VIII, who was an avid falconer. The castle has a Birds of Prey Centre, a falconry school, and falconry programs where the owls, falcons, hawks, and other birds can be seen flying free.
The castle, which has extensive grounds, has a moat and maze. It also has black swans, which are the symbol of the castle, along with white swans and lots of ducks. There are also peacocks which can be seen wandering the grounds and, when I was last there, hanging around the tables outside the cafe.
