Great Horned Owl II I was fortunate enough to spot another owl today in an area about 10 miles from my house. This one with its mate was perched in the thick of a mesquite tree. The mate flew off and I wasn't able to move fast enough for a "in flight" shot that was in focus. Bubo virginianus,Geotagged,Great Horned Owl,Spring,United States Click/tap to enlarge
