Harriet and People in Fog, Nick Brandt


Harriet, a giant eagle owl, has lived at Kuimba Shiri for 35 years, rescued when she was just a chick as a result of deforestation. 
As with many of the birds rescued by Kuimba Shiri as chicks, she would not survive if reintroduced into the wild. Giant eagle owls are actually widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, although perhaps declining in rural areas due to deforestation. 
Photographed at Kuimba Shiri bird sanctuary, Zimbabwe.
