Meet Apollo, a stunning Eurasian Eagle Owl from a past photography event I did at Raptor Hallow Sanctuary. He was hatched in captivity to be an ambassador for his wild counterparts.

Eurasian eagle-owls are one of the largest owls in the world, weighing up to 9 pounds and having a wingspan up to 6 feet. They combine fast and powerful flights with shallow wing beats and long, fast glides. They also soar on updrafts, similar to that of soaring hawks.
