Picture of the Day: Owl Eyes 
Seen here is an intense close up of an Indian Eagle-Owl’s eyes. The Indian Eagle-Owl, also called the Rock Eagle-Owl or Bengal Eagle-Owl (Bubo bengalensis)
is a species of large horned owl found in the Indian Subcontinent. The
species is often considered a subspecies of the Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) and is very similar in appearance.
