Great capture! Seeing inside the mouth is a plus.

Awesome! Happened to me once about a year or so ago as well. Great bit of chance!

Agreed, the opportunity doesn't come along very often. Put up a pic of it, I'd like to see it.

Great shot. I wish I could find one that cooperates letting me get close

thank you! Looking back on it, I wonder if something was wrong with it. It did seem to sit there for an unusually long time and not in the top of a tree where they usually are. As if it were hiding.

This young Great Horned is most likely going to be gone very soon. But for now it can only fly for very short distances

Excellent capture of the Great Horned Owl juvie, jm!

What a lovely capture, RAL! So sharp and three dimensional looking.
