Description

This great horned owl was photographed last Sunday just south of Calgary Alberta. I was actually looking for rough-legged hawks and came across this owl hiding in a tree. Well, he thought he was hidden but with the leaves on the trees, he stood out like a sore thumb! This was a first year great horned owl.
For the location of this owl sighting, check out my new site, Raptor Tracking Photography for a detailed sighting report. Oh yeah, I also did find a rough-legged hawk about 50 yards from the owl.
