caption: The image shows a great horned owl perched on a branch of a tree against a backdrop of a clear blue sky. The owl has a large, round head with two prominent tufts of feathers on its face, and its large, yellow eyes are focused intently on its surroundings. Its feathers are a mottled brown and white, with a hint of yellow in its beak. Its wings are spread out and its talons are gripping the branch tightly, ready to take flight.
