The sleepy one

I suppose all owls sleep during the day but this one scarcely opens its eyes.

It is one of the more beautiful owls with very soft looking and fine plumage. Quite a big owl and is also called a Giant Eagle Owl.They are widespread in sub-Saharan Africa

Great shot. The owls around here that I chase, sleep some, but you can usually find them with their eye wide open and most any time of the day.
