Ah, that is a Harpy Eagle! A beautiful bird that lives in Central and South America. Sadly, these magical creatures are endangered due to the destruction of the rainforest in which they live.
WoW…this is so GREAT! I just wished to know what kind of specie is this one and…well and everything about it! Blessed you be for sharing the picture…is it possible to share something else?
To me this is owl (beauty in the eye of beholder.right !) ,I love owls, thanks for sharing this rare species with us ,looking forward to more owls of other species . I found out that many of our zaadzasters love owls ,lets appreciate the beauty of these babies , and share their inner peace illuminate by them …
If it's of any interest to you, I volunteer here at the fondo peregrino in Panama, where there is a Harpy in Residence, named Luigi. He's a great bird! They have a lovely collection of feathers that have been shed over the years. I love to just be there and feel, smell, see everything Harpy. Great to see another eagle-lover

Hello - what type of bird is this? An owl or an eagle of a sort?
Is this baby real? It is so oddly precious:)

It's so other worldly.
Thank you for bringing the species to my attention. My heart is heavy with the knowledge of diminishing species.
