An eagle owl, gazing upwards.
The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of eagle-owl, a type of bird that resides in much of Eurasia. It is often just called the eagle-owl in Europe and Asia, and probably is the second largest owl species after the Blakiston's fish owl. The species' scientific name was published as Strix bubo in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus. The bird gets its name from its call. Especially in late winter, the male lets its imposing "eagle owl" call be heard.
