    I love owls. They are stealthy and mysterious. Getting a picture of one you must consider yourself lucky. Great horned owls are a beautiful bird. (my favorite) Seen a few, but never had my camera with me. Last year a Northern Saw Whet Owl was in a tree in my yard. I tried to duplicate his call. Next thing I knew, it flew down and landed next to me on my porch. I sat there for 30 seconds getting a close up of an owl one foot away from me before he flew off. Sometimes, the best things in life are events like this.

    We have Great Horned Owls living in our neighborhood and calling every evening. I've seen a female taking wing on various occasions from pine trees around our houses - she's magnificent! Our backyard is also a certified wildlife habitat, and the Owls stay fairly close because of the rabbit, rat and squirrel population, as well as because of all of the other birds who feed at our house. We are SO lucky. Great Horned Owls are indeed beautiful and magical.....silent and deadly! I enjoy AmericanP's post - when I tried to sing back to our female, she left. I'll keep trying!

    the Mighty Mo River I walked up on a huge Great Horned Owl (probably female due to large size) eating a bird she never missed a mouthful , speaking softly I just eased back & away snapping photos, few days later I went back gathered up the remains taking them to a Conservationists ( Game Warden) finding out that her breakfast was a Red Tailed Hawk

    Bald eagles have been seen attacking and expiring great-horned owls with relative ease. Eagles are more than a match for horned owls. Chicks can and do fall prey to great-horned owls but once the chicks reach a size near to their parents they are relatively safe from attack by horned owls. Also the greatest weight ever verified to be carried by any living bird of prey was a Bald eagle. It had carried off a 15 lb mule deer fawn that it eventually dropped and landed on a power line which caused a power outage in East Missoula.

    • @frankmorse7929
      @frankmorse7929 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Darkasknightfall - quite true. Also, seasoned adult Red tailed Hawks, Ferruginous and Goshawks, especially females are on record killing adult great horned owls - especially in the daytime. Ghos are tough customers but so are many of the species of creatures they attack & often the owl doesn't always come out on top. Also, while they are strong, they cannot lift and carry off really heavy prey like an eagle. Ghos don't usually carry off 10 plus pound food items. Several pound like an adult rabbit or skunk are more common prey items and rats, mice & squirrels are even more common. Cats? Smaller feral cats or kittens yes but for the most part, a solid healthy 14- 15 pound plus adult cat a gho won't really mess with as a cat that size, especially a feral male could take the owl to the woodshed, if you get my drift. She embellished just a bit about these owls because they don't take just anything and everything- and even some of the prey items they do catch are on record turning the tide on the owl, killing it, such as another large eagle, hawk, snake that can constrict, porcupine, large cat etc etc. They don't have it that easy.

    My favorite bird of prey is the owl with the Great Horned Owl as my favorite of them. They are awesome birds because they have binocular vision like humans. Since their eyes are like this they can turn their heads completely around. GWO's not only have a massive wingspan but like all owls they have feathers in their wings that muffle the sound of their flaps so prey can't hear them at night. They're just cool all around.
