Deborah Abbott captured this striking portrait of a Bubo virginianus at a "Birds of Prey" presentation by a wildlife refuge in the auditorium of the state park down the road from our cabin in Ontonagon, Michigan. As with human eyes, camera flash with owls often results in bright red pupils that have to be fixed with photo software -- as was done with this owl's right eye.
