谁在那儿?世界上最大的猫头鹰
为了让我们在万圣节的心情,我们提供了一个难得一见的景观布莱克斯顿的鱼猫头鹰。它被认为是现存最大的猫头鹰,大约有消防栓大小,翼展6英尺,也是最稀有的猫头鹰之一。专家估计,这些难以捉摸的鸟类只剩下几千只,它们散落在日本北部、俄罗斯远东、中国东北部以及可能的朝鲜茂密的古老森林中。

To get us in the Halloween mood, we're offering a seldom-seen sight—the Blakiston's fish owl. Considered the largest of all living owls—about the size of a fire hydrant with a 6-foot wingspan—it's among the rarest of owls, too. Experts estimate only a few thousand of these elusive birds remain, scattered in pockets of dense old-growth forests in northern Japan, the Russian Far East, northeastern China, and potentially North Korea.
