Never see an owl so closed! Does it actually have red eyes?! Love that look! Wonderful shot, Karen! #644323

Karen Talasco July 12, 2004

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. #644371
