RE: SPIRIT OWL :The beauty of collaboration
That is gorgeous. Your model is a Barred Owl, which are especially haunting because they do not have the yellow or orange iris of other owls. Their eyes are black black black.
We have four of these (a mated pair and their two owl-lets, living in the Bog Garden here in Greensboro, NC, hunting baby ducks and turtles. They are surprisingly mellow about being observed and having their pictures taken.

Lucky you that you are able to observe them regularly! They are pretty amazing, I agree and I didn't know that they have a naturally mellow nature.
I don't imagine that they ALL do, just these particular ones. But maybe ... I haven't met them all. What do I know?
