Northern Owls : Tengmalm’s

北のふくろう：キンメフクロウ

4 September 1998, Finland
‘Aegolius funereus’
design: E Brunn

This small one under a wing is Tengmalm’s Owl, similar in appearance to the Tawny Owl, which is hooting near by our house these days, but has a golden ring in its eyes.

この翼の下の小さめのフクロウはキンメフクロウで、見かけは近くの森で啼いているモリフクロウに似ていますが、目に金色の輪があることが特徴です。
