We saw this Great Horned Owl on her nest next to the Milnesand Community Center. The nest was right off the road just 10 feet off the ground. The bottom left of the picture shows a dead rodent that is going to be a meal for junior. Here is junior waking up to eat his meal  (Click)! We also saw these two great horned owl chicks in a large Ponderosa pine at Rocky Mountain National Park. One is looking a lot like their parents but with white feathers whereas the other is curled up into a big ball   (Click). We waited for their impressive mom to arrive but never managed to see her. We also saw this younger chick also at the park:   (Click). The critter cam at our house even captured a shot of a great horned owl taking a bath at warbler pond   (Click)   (Click). Here is a picture of this majestic predator on a post and then taking off:   (Click)   (Click). At Yellowstone, we saw another Great Horned Owl nest but this time one of the adults were hanging around and I got many shots. I thought the adult looked quite wise and I finally got shots of a wise looking owl like the one I grew up with in the Winnie the Pooh stories: (Lo-Res) (Hi-Res).
