Just enough detail to fully separate the well camouflaged owl from the background. What an amazing creature with its perfect 3D eyesight and ability to hear the mouse!

Why the yellow sclera? Any ideas?

As far as I know the yellow is the iris. Crepuscular owls tend to have a yellow iris and the iris of more strictly nocturnal owls is typically dark.
