This owl looks like a "Burrowing Owl" similar to a photo that I had taken when I went to the "Big Bear Alpine Zoo" recently. Except the owl that I photographed was behind a glass enclosure. This photo is a great close-up and the eyes look great! Nice job Ryan!

Spend time with any animal to learn their behaviours and habits. Allowing the animal to feel comfortable will increase your opportunity to capture better shots.
