The image is a close-up of a barred owl perched on a tree branch. The owl is facing towards the right side of the image, with its head turned slightly to the left. Its body is covered in brown and white speckled feathers, and its eyes are a bright yellow. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area with trees and foliage. The image is taken from a low angle, looking directly at the camera.
