Great Horned Owl

[CaraRose]

Went to the nature center today, and was hearing this ruckus... sounded like a laughing caw, so I went to investigate. Discovered a really pissed off Cooper's Hawk flying around yelling his head off at an owl that seemed pretty keen on ignoring the hawk.

My first ever owl... .



Close Crop, a little too close I think.









Oh, and since he led me to the owl, my Cooper's Hawk, despite it not being a great shot.

The forth one looks like the owl was smiling

[Loupey]

That's a beautiful GHO. Congrats on your "first".

[Eric D]

Excellent scores!!! Beautiful eye contact on all of them!

Nice! Their eyes are so awesome.

Awesome! I love the forth one and the foreground clutter doesn't bother me a bit. I actually adds to the story

[Shebang]

Eyes are just amazing - great "first!"
