It has been a while since I shared a pic of these creatures of the night. This image goes back to early April, before the trees had their leaves and when it was much easier to spot them.
I had stopped by a local open space, figuring I might get lucky and find one of the resident great horned owls and indeed I did. Normally they don’t hang out in such an open spot but some crows and spotted it and chased it from its roost. For a brief period, it opted to hang out in a relatively clear area, allowing me to get some nice captures.
