Adult Great Horn Owl. I love it when they do their grooming and at the end, they do an owl/dog shake and puff up their feathers. They look much bigger and intimidating.

Nikon Z9, Nikkor 180-600mm @ 600mm.

We just recently discussed this behavior, known as rousing!

    I thought your title was a pun on the word ‘arousing’ because it looks like the owl has big boobs or pecs.
