Always a joy to see, and hear. Actually got up last night, quietly moved to the porch, and sat listening to one sitting in a pine near the back door. Didn’t need or want a camera. 😀😀

  HI Ted, we get to hear them more often then see them. Usually hooting a dusk and dawn or even sometimes all night long. We also just like to sit not he porch and listen. Hope your weekend is treating you well.

  HI, it is always fun to get to see a GHO. Usually we just hear them hooting at dusk and dawn so getting a good look as a true pleasure.

  Don’t you wish you could have the patience that a bird of prey does?

  HI and thanks. The owl was happy to just hang out in the tree while we were observing them that evening patiently waiting for the night to begin. Have a wonderful weekend.

  Thanks, it is always great when we see a Great Horned Owl as we typically only hear them at dusk and dawn hooting away. Hope you have a great weekend.

    It is, thank you. Was in Wyoming this morning, am in Nebraska this afternoon, and will be in Missouri tonight. Lots of changes in scenery.
