Indian Eagle-Owl: Native to the Indian subcontinent, this species is also known as the Bengal or rock eagle-owl and is frequently found in hilly, rocky terrains.
Long-eared Owl: Often found perched amidst thick foliage, these owls have long, vertical ear tufts that give them a surprised expression.
The bird in the image is a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus), one of the most widespread and adaptable raptors in the Americas. These "tigers of the sky" are easily identified by their large size, distinctive feather tufts (horns), and piercing golden-yellow eyes.
