Great Horned Owl
This past Friday evening at dusk I was finishing up watering my flowers, when I heard a Great Horned Owl calling over the marsh behind our house. Another answered far off.
I dropped the hose and hurried towards the open space of trees to view over the marsh. I had my binoculars and found the owl perched on a big dead tree.
It was also staring directly back at me!
The owl took flight towards me. Egads!
Me: I’m fumbling with my cell phone to open up my camera.
The owl: it keeps coming and lands in a tree right in front of me.
Lucky me, it stayed for maybe a minute while I did the best I could with my phone camera!
