This morning, I heard the crow call, and went out to see. One RTH screamed and flew to the tree, the other followed and he/ she sort of scrapped a part of the other tree. I thought it went for a small bird. But I noticed there was a big brown lump there. And when the two RTHs meet, I don't see any feeding or signs that they got food. I was very excited to get them in the same frame. Then I went back to see that lump, and I hit the jackpot. A great horned owl. That's why all the residence predators were so upset. He/she is still sitting in the tree facing my backyard.

I tried my best to keep my distance. So much thorned plants underneath that tree too. And he wasn't that bothered by me. Maybe it was a celebrity of some kind, he blinked and then went back minding his own business of sitting. Several small birds went to attack him, but he was only startled when a lawn mower was turned on.

Wonderful shots. Not all the drama is in the Middle East.
Your new long lens is being put to very good use.
If only glass could talk, .... oh ya, it does!

Thank you. I am going to call him Boo Boo the GHO. I think he thinks I am useless when comes to finding an owl, so he found me instead.
