Caption:
This image depicts a great horned owl, Bubo virginianus, perched in the branches of a leafless tree and gazing toward the camera when the photograph was taken during a field investigation of tularemia. This disease is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, which often infects rodents that constitute a significant portion of the owl’s prey.
