    Holy! Holy! Moly! Ted! I just can’t find any more words for all your beautiful captures!! – Those eyes are amazing – why do some owls have yellow eyes and not others?

  • Thanks Rose;

    OMG that is just awesome, I’m very envious. What a cutie, how did you get so close?

  • Thank you;

    These tiny owls (7-8") really do not have any fear of humans..Once found (And that’s the hard part); they can be approached rather closely (And carefully of course)

    Amazing..how wide the pupil is opend, that’s the reason why owls see so sharp.

  • Thank you kindly Heidi
