2025—Those Expressive Eyes

Last week at Sax-Zim Bog in Minnesota, where most of the time the temperatures hovered below zero, we had a number of photographic opportunities with Great Gray Owls that made me realize what expressive eyes they have. Because an owl’s eyes face forward, unlike most other birds, their eyes convey, to us humans anyway, feelings that our innate instincts anthropomorphize. This is one of my favorite looks from a Great Gray Owl. I’ll leave it up to you to decide what you think is on his mind.
