We awoke this morning at dawn to the Crows squawking outside our bedroom window. I thought it must be the little Red-tailed Hawk nearby. The other morning it was in our birdbath at dawn, splashing away.
I went out on the deck and looked all around in the pine trees for the hawk, but could not find him. And then… I saw these golden eyes looking down at me. Wow!
There was a Great Horned Owl in the tree right outside our bedroom window. How cool is that?!
I ran in and got the binoculars while Phil clicked away with the camera. Unbelievable! I knew there are Great Horned Owls here on Cape Cod, but I had no idea we would ever see one in our backyard!
Such a treat!!
Yikes! I wonder if the hawks saw him and literally took off!
WOW!!! What a great photo of such a beautiful owl. We have always loved these magnificent birds of prey but they became even more special to us since we met you while observing their nest in Rocky Mountain National Park!!!
Yes! Happy memories of meeting you and Scott there on Old Fall River Road in RMNP many years ago!
Wow!
Wonderful ! I really want to see one !
