Contrary to my other photos of owls recently, this one is very much alive. In fact, it has its dinner sitting on the rock behind its tail. I realize it is always disturbing to find out that animals eat other animals, but this is pretty graphic. This was probably the least expected photo I have taken recently since I was really looking at flowers and not thinking about birds, dead or alive. At first, I thought it was dead, until it opened its eyes and looked at me. Its feathers are gorgeous but do they make up for the fact that it is a predator? It seems that a lot of very attractive things turn out to be predators. I sometimes think that about people as well as animals.
