The image is a photograph of a small owl perched on a tree branch. The owl is facing towards the right side of the image and its head is turned slightly to the left. It has large, round, yellow eyes that are piercing and appear to be looking directly at the camera. The bird's body is covered in black and white speckled feathers, and its wings are folded against its body. The branch it is perched on is thin and brown, and the background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area with bare branches and trees.
