Great horned owl returns home

I normally don’t like ‘from behind’ flight shots but with as rare as it is to get pictures of owls in fight, I will take it. This owl was perched in a tree about 100 yards from its usual spot and decided it was time to return home. Obstructions were in the way initially, preventing a clear shot, but as it got a bit past me, I managed a few captures of the flyby. Fun to see and you do get a complete look at its plumage that allows it to hide so well in wooded areas.
