I saw this Great Horned Owl while driving home from work yesterday afternoon. He (she?) was hanging out on a cottonwood limb waiting to fly out and hunt for breakfast. Connie and I had seen this fellow several times over the last couple of months. These birds are so big they really stick out.
Here's a closer shot, pretty near the limits of our little point and shoot. I'm sure the Bayou Gulch bottoms where he was located provide good hunting. We had sort of a staring contest for a few minutes. Finally he was sick of it and flew to the next tree where he perched on a limb with his back to me.

Reid, is this Bayou Gulch down near Parker?
ReplyDeleteYes, I live down there.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I live on 20 mile and Mainstreet in Parker. Just moved here from Japan a couple weeks ago.
