The name of this bird comes from the shape of the mouth looking like a frog's mouth. The docent told me it prefers insects over small rodents, so it is not as 'owl' like as it might appear. Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay.

This is the best look on an owl I've ever seen. It's different from the normal angry look. Looks like it's feeling sorry for something or someone, I like it. Great job, i think if I tried to take a pic of a bird like that, it would attack.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Also, I'm trying to bring Caedes to myspace, so check out the thread here.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
