We saw this guy during the bird walk on Saturday @ Tommy Thompson Park. I could only get shots of his back and then of him flying away after he spotted us. Can anyone tell whether he is a great horned or a long eared from these pics? We thought Great Horned.

Looks like a great horned to me.

The body is too thick for a long-eared. Long-eareds are very slight, with a long, skinny profile.

Cheers
Tim
