20150511 571 Eastern Screech Owl.jpg

Ottawa West

The Owl was perched on a branch, the light was poor and all of a sudden it started to rain heavily. The rain seemed to wake up the Owl who seem perturbed by it. In the upper left one can see streaks of rain aimed right for the closed eyelid. Some tiny droplets can also be seen on its back and on the top of its head.

A great shot under not so great conditions. Nice composition with one wide open eye and the other winking.
