An Airman and a Screech Owl

"The Week in Pictures - 6"

"Airman Jacob Larsen, holds 'Fod,' a screech owl discovered in the wheel well of an F/A 18 Hornet fighter on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, at sea in the Persian Gulf. ..."

It may be my imagination, but Fod seems a little shocked.
