As mentioned, I’ve seen an owl out on the cinder block wall in the back yard and on the pergola a couple of times, always when it’s dark or just getting there, but I’ve never gotten any pictures.
Not today!
It was after sunset and raining pretty hard, but not yet dark. There it was, and there it stayed for quite a while.
Lousy quality photo due to the low light and high magnification, but there was some nice video opportunities.
Welcome to the Forever Home, my Great Horned Owl friend! I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing you on a regular basis!
