Great horned owl (Bubo virginianus)

One of our larger owl species, and as with all owls, difficult to spot during the day. When nesting, the male will be more active during the day, both guarding the nest and retrieving food and nest supplies - that's when you can get lucky and find one in the open. Somewhat!
