Your Shot photographer Megan Lorenz made this sweet portrait of a Burrowing owlet in Florida. She writes, “An owl’s eyes are large in order to improve their efficiency, especially under low light conditions. Their eyes are actually elongated tubes which are held in place by bony structures in the skull called Sclerotic Rings. For this reason, an owl cannot move its eyes and can only look straight ahead. The owl more than makes up for this by being able to turn its head up to 270 degrees left or right from the forward-facing position and almost upside down.” Photograph by Megan Lorenz
