Squatter's Rights

This tiny owl found the ultimate high ground. A Little Owl perches, unbothered, right on the tip of a weathered rhino horn, its speckled brown-and-white plumage glowing in warm evening light against a blur of golden grass. The horn's ridged curve dwarfs the bird, turning a fierce trophy into nothing more than a convenient lookout post. It stares straight into the lens with the calm confidence of something that has clearly claimed this perch as its own.
