Bubo virginianus
This species is widely distributed in the Mojave Desert...I have mainly spotted it in riparian and urban areas. This spotting was in the Tule Springs/Floyd Lamb Park area in Las Vegas. My experience has been that when perched high in a tree...they are not intimidated by humans.
In the Mojave...urban areas, and Riparian areas.

A very stern looking Great Horned Owl there...I'm intimidated just looking at the pic! Thank you for sharing Jim :)
Wonderful image #1 peeking around tree
Great details. Hopefully will help me in spotting one!
