The image is 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 a brown and white striped body with black and white markings on its wings and tail. Its eyes are large and yellow, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera. The tree branch is covered in green leaves and branches, and the background is blurred, suggesting that the owl is in a wooded area.
