Wing of the week

OK, it's been a little more than a week but here's the latest wing of the week. This time it's another Philippine species but a less brightly colored bird, the Luzon Scops Owl (Otus longicornis). There are many species of Scops Owls in East and Southeast Asia and this is one of the endemic Otus species from the Philippines. It's not as flashy as the kingfisher wing from last week but I still think the patterned brown wings of owls are absolutely beautiful.
