Taken at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy. The Eurasian Eagle Owl feeds mainly on small mammals, but can kill preys up to the size of foxes and young deer (up to 10 kg-22 lb), if taken by surprise. Females are larger than males, a difference between the male and female is that male's ear tufts are more upright than the female's. They live for around 20 years although like many other bird species in captivity they can live much longer, perhaps up to 60 years.

Absolutely perfect. As I learn and compare settings, I find none for this image. Is it possible to provide some settings and equipment used? Thanks.
