Wasnt Expecting a Great Horned Owl

I was probably 15-20 yards away from him. Thanks for looking.

Way to go, Kenny. Only ones I've seen were high in a pine tree, a tough shot.

Thanks Stan, his lack of fear is another reason I think it was a young one.

Very nice shot of this juvenile...just the type of surprise I love when I am out

Thanks Gary. The sort of frustrating thing is that I hiked the area several times a few weeks ago after being told there was an owl hanging around and never saw anything, in fact the entire area has been somewhat scarce as far as birds this year. Ah well, that's the way it goes in the bird world.

Very nice shot Kenny. He does look like a young bird. Doesn't have the horns yet.
