Give Me Shelter

    Zool, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl and his owner Corinne's coat. The bird was new to the crowds thing and spent a good amount of time sort of clinging to her... (she said she's had him for 3 months and this was his first trip out...)

      Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Stare, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

      That is such a cool shot - the eyes are piercing and it's neat to see it nestled with its owner.

      Owls are magnificent creatures. Never thought they could be considered cuddly--although I'd happily cuddle with one any day.

      Really wonderful shot.
