A magical moment at night the other week with a long-eared owl in Central Park, New York. The lights in the background are from Fifth Avenue.

Owls are a favorite - such majestic creatures.

2. His ears don't look that long.

Beautiful bird.

3. ''Long-eared Owls "ears" are not ears at all. Ear tufts can be erect or laid flat, as a way to communicate."

4. In this photo he looks like the fluffy demon devil from the woodlands.

5. Oh my, those "ears" look long.

This bird is so beautiful, it doesn't look real.

Thanks for the picture!
