The image is a photograph of an owl sitting on the ground at night. The owl is facing towards the right side of the image and its head is turned slightly to the left. It has a large, round, yellow-orange eye that is the focal point of the photograph. Its body is covered in black and white speckled feathers, and its wings are folded against its body. The ground is covered with dried leaves and twigs, and there is a small stream of water visible in the background. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the owl with a curious expression.
