His eyes are wide and yellow, with oval pupils reflecting a trio of ceiling lights. Feathers are brown and white, with a thatch of tan across the chest. His rictal bristles around his pale yellow beak are damp and pink, presumably from his latest meal, but due to lack of time / awareness / shame / napkins he has been unable to clean himself for the photoshoot.

Who doesn’t like a little owl in a towel? Little “Marathon” was receiving a laser treatment this morning for a leg injury when one of our volunteers snapped this cute picture.
