    We've had a Great Horned owl that has come to visit us each year in the late winter and early spring, usually he's gone by June or so. This year, we had two come to see us and live in our cedar tree out front. We've spent the spring removing their "left-overs" from under the tree before we mow....rabbit heads / mice / moles / the odd snake. I'd rather pick 'em up than spray them with the mower.

    The two, were a mating pair, and today the surviving baby (we also picked up two dead babies from under the tree) finally got out of the nest a few feet. Pretty cool.
    Hes on the left side of the frame, about a third of the way down. Shitty iphone photo, but I didn't wanna rush into the house to get the good camera.

    WOW! I love owls, we have lots of Bard Owls around here, hootin' 'n hollerin' at night. Back in '02 when I was campaigning with a guy who was running for office, we were visiting people's houses and on a long driveway into the woods one afternoon, there was a huge, Great Horned Owl like yours up in a big ole pine tree staring us down. Then he took off and WOW, what a wing span on that guy.

    Great picture!
