Great Horned Owl nesting in a tree (Bubo virginianus)

I didn't notice this owl at first until I saw a big group of other birders with huge camera looking at the tree! I used my camera (which looked like a toy by comparison) to get some images. I wonder how amazing the other birders photos look like.
