You never know hoooo’s watching from the fall foliage!
Great Horned Owls are fierce predators capable of taking surprisingly large prey. Their menu can even include other raptors, such as Ospreys, Peregrine Falcons, Prairie Falcons, and even other owls.

What's better than a Great Horned Owl sitting in a tree as fog rolls into the Golden Gate and the sunsets pops off above the Marin Headlands? How about two owls sitting in the same tree? It's always a treat when you get two GHOs perching near each other in the same tree. I couldn't believe my luck when I had two of them with such an incredible setting.
The great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) is the most quintessential and familiar North American owl, with a range encompassing nearly the entire continent and a decent portion of Central and South America too. The American ecological equivalent and relative of the Eurasian eagle owl, it is significantly smaller than that species, but it is the second heaviest owl in North America (first is the […]

I can hear a #GreatHornedOwl from inside my house tonight and I am so, so happy. #Cascadia #PNW #OlyWA #WestOly
Locked eyes with this majestic Great Horned Owl quietly keeping watch through the canopy. Nature’s stealth at its finest. 🦉 Taken this morning.

Neighbors clued me in on a great horned owl and two owlets along a trail near home. I came back the next morning and the little ones were still sharing a branch, the parent watching from a ways off. One stared me down. The other kept dozing.
I designed the typefaces to suggest the meaning of the words. “Parliament” is in a gothic script. “Owls” has an owl eye for ‘o’ and the remaining letters are feathered. The owls are, right to left and top to bottom: the Eastern screech, Northern saw-whet, long-eared, Barred, Great Horned and the American Barn owls.

Can any aviary experts help identify this? They look like pellets to me and I know we have a great horned owl that hangs out around our house. #askfedi #askanaturalist #birding #owlpellets #nature #greathornedowl #maybepoop

Peekaboo
A Great-Horned Owl chick peeks out from behind a eucalyptus tree. While these trees are highly invasive, the owls don't mind one bit, and often prefer them as nesting habitat in California.
I present to you: the best photos I have ever taken. This juvenile owl missed the landing in a tree and crashed down and out of sight, so I went to investigate.

Golden Gate Owl
As fog wafts gently into the Golden Gate, an Great Horned Owl begins her evening hunt. I'm not sure I've ever felt the exposure triangle more acutely than on this shot. Stopping down to try to pull in more background. Fighting motion blur on a breezy evening. Lots of detail buried deep in the blacks. Nothing was cooperating, except the owl who very kindly hung out while I fiddled with my settings. Fortunately, I got a few more than useable frames!
Went out looking for a barn owl, ended up finding great horned owl fledglings instead! They still have baby fuzz on their face and the tiniest makings of "horns." There were 3 total; I'm not sure if mama was one of them or if was 3 young'uns but wow!

Owl Portrait
When this Great-Horned Owl perched in a cypress tree, I was pleased to be able to duck behind a low-hanging eucalyptus branch to create a bit of extra depth for this photo.
For #SuperbOwl Sunday, here’s my Perpetual Journal art of 2 very superb owls: 2 Great Horned Owls calling back & forth (duetting) along with a Cooper’s Hawk & a small Mexican Poppy plant.

My best friend of 20+ years has spent this last weekend visiting me and brought her nice camera so we could do some bird watching. Here are some of the highlights!
