A Great-Horned Owl in the neighborhood..

Taken a few years ago, we live quite close to the outskirts of town, and we have considerable boreal forest all around us, this fellow hung around for probably a week, I think he 'got' a few of the residing chipmunks and squirrels before he moved on, was nice to see anyway, (thanks Montanagirl), you reminded me I had this one...

Taken with my P&S.
