Of a Feather
These pharaoh eagle-owl chicks are doing their best to send a loud and clear message to anyone approaching: Back off. A brood of two chicks is relatively common for these desert-dwelling birds, as mother owls will typically lay a clutch of two eggs. Pharaoh eagle-owls, among the smallest of eagle-owl species, are dispersed throughout North Africa and the Middle East; these chicks were spotted and photographed by Your Shot photographer Moe Murad in the Kuwait desert.
