Prochilodus246 13 May 2024 I have a feeling it's the lighting as the facial disk looks more like Ural to me anyway.
Prochilodus246 13 May 2024 @KevinB It's a completely understandable mistake to make with both of these Strix species looking very similar, don't worry about it

Goura 14 May 2024 @KevinB Not at all - I'm grateful for the help...Strigiformes are such an enormous group and I'm certainly not an expert.

Dr. Wolverine 27 Jun 2024 Just so everyone is on the same page, I can confirm that these are Ural Owls. This particular photo has brownish lighting, however, in some other photos, you can clearly see it's greyish-white plumage.
