Immature owl, not capable of flight yet. He's about two months old. Not sure what happened to his beak, I didn't notice it while talking to his owner. The owner works at the Philadelphia Zoo and had him there while their Birds of Prey show was going on.

Nice capture. Would have been even better to have had the focus spot on his eyes.. nice detail - a smaller aperture would have revealed even more detail & DOF.
Great capture. The bit of green in the background actually adds to the photo (instead of being completely filled with the bird). It feels ever so slightly soft, just enough that I wonder if some extra sharpening in post processing could have really cleaned it up.
