  Thank you, Rita, Donna, Kristen, Robin and Pu, for your comments. Yes, Pu, her eyes are really that color. I was only about three feet away from her when this shot was taken. She was part of a bird exhibit at a Native American Festival. She just sat there on her perch, for everyone to see, free of any bars or cage.

  What a marvelous close-up, Karen, you captured the fine detail beautifully here and that eerie phenomenon where the owl's eyes follow you at whatever angle you view him!
