Easier breathing for Long-eared Owl

A Long-eared Owl is wrapped in a vibrant striped towel in shades of orange, sky blue, buttery yellow, watermelon red and plum. The owl has a large beak protruding over the edge of the fabric, and some fairly hefty rictal bristles a.k.a. whiskers to match. The photographer has captured the owl mid-blink, and one of its amber eyes is partially closed. This gives the owl an expression that—if it were human—could be described as haughtiness or nonchalance, or a combination of the two.
