Owl Eyes

[Mike Landwehr]

I never tire of the burrowing owl's wonderful yellow eyes! This one was on Marco Island. The image is about a 50% crop. All C & C welcome.

Great light, details and complementing BG. Interesting to see how different the eyes in individual birds look.

Mike -
These are probably at the top of my "favorite bird list".

They are just fun! When the young emerge from a burrow I can set in a blind there for the entire day.

Good capture here.

There's some great detail for such crop! I love the eyes. These little fellows really rock. Well done. Not sure if I would crop a bit tighter from both sides?

Amazing eye, nice light.
