Five quizzical-looking little brown-and-white burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) on a short grass lawn in Florida, taken with shallow depth of field.A ghostly-pale owl with light brown barring on its great round head and light brown stripes down its breast and wings, perched on pale grey branches in a pale grey wood. Its eyes are dark and liquid, as icy as its surroundings. The image could almost be black-and-white except for the owl's yellow beak.Two ridiculous-looking long-eared owls (Asio otus), brown-black-white with big fluffy "ears" and round orange eyes, peer down with palpable surprise at the camera from lichen-greened branches in a bare tree. A pair of Indian scops owls (Otus bakkamoena), perfectly camouflaged with their irregular variegated brown patterns and slight ear tufts, sit side by sided in the broken stump of a tree branch, eyes narrowed.
