Appeared to be a fledgling, not as pretty as momma yet. She flew as we approached. Very large birds, silent flight. Also very large kill stain under her roost, lots of skeletal remains.

Carolina, I do not know much about this amazing bird family as most of Indians are skip this bird. Indians believe this bird is messenger of death. In college days I observed Owl Nebula, a sky gazing object, while studying Nebula I was really introduced this really beautiful bird. Then I study lot about this bird and see many films on it. I think this bird should be Human's best friend. Its real hunter of mice.
Yes, Ashish! What a beautiful eyes!
Oh...what a shot...those cute big..eyes...!!
