GHOW head different angles ref

Description

Great Horned Owl head at different angles. These are all the same bird except for two in the middle: the angry, puffed up owl 3 across and 5 down, and the picture of the chick right beneath him. The main model is a permanent resident at a raptor rehabilitation center. His ear tufts are down in the majority of these images because they typically only go up when he is alarmed or upset. This guy is a patient, tolerant bird on the glove (he is frequently used to train inexperienced volunteers how to jess and handle a raptor for the first time), but there is one thing that never fails to immediately perk those ear tufts up: children. The other five Great-Horned Owls who live together at the center also appear to hate children (even well-behaved, quiet groups of children) and it is somewhat amusing to see all ear tufts raise simultaneously when a school tour group arrives.

Heheh, I love the middle row/3rd from the left picture. Looks like an owl's version of "WHAZZUP?!" :D
