Title: What kind of Owl is this (in our backyard in Toronto)?
Post by: rocklakemama on July 15, 2016, 11:00:08 AM

We're pretty sure this is an owl. It has been in a tree in our backyard for several hours. It's driving the robins and blue jays crazy. We're wondering if it's a baby great-horned owl. Is it normal for it to be alone at this age/this time of year?
