An owl pictured inside it’s enclosure at Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago. The faint lines are the thin bars of the cage.
I love the eye!

The light really brings out the detail in it’s feathers. Love this shot, what an expression!

Thanks guys, I’m finally catching up on my photoblog viewing. My list gets bigger and bigger though, and I don’t have time to comment on all the great shots I spot!

This photo is of a female Snowy Owl. It has never been called a “white” owl. The female is speckled as you can see. The male is pure white and slightly smaller. She lives with a male. He was in the outdoor enclosure with her. Too bad you didn’t get his photo since it would have been nice for a comparison. Males are always smaller than females in the bird of prey group. The owl’s eyes are stationary in the sockets. That is why the owl’s head turns completely around.
