A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Bubo virginianus
I believe this is a female because it was a rather large Owl, the ear tufts were smaller as well.
The Great Horned Owls are wide spread and have adapted to many different habitats. They are most often found in treed areas like forests, woodlands and shrublands.
I would have loved to have gotten closer for a better picture but I did not want to spook her.
