Spectacled Owls are unique owls, so named because of the white spectacles around their yellow eyes, highlighting their brown facial disk. The bill is cream colored. A white stripe around the upper throat divides the color of the body, with the chest being dark brown. Here is a female at the Carolina Raptor Center, North Carolina.

Reblogged this on Stephen’s People Places and commented:
In my spare time I tend to drive around Jordan Lake with my dog and we go looking for Birds. It works for both of us, he gets exercise and I get to take time outside. This blogger, while taking photos across the world, has a lot of bird photos from around the Southeast US. A lot of these birds can be found in your neck of the woods, or within a reasonable drive
Thanks!
