Great Horned Owl
My sister and I went owl hunting a couple of days ago, in a stretch of pine forest known for owl sightings. We spotted one in flight overhead, but I only caught a glimpse of it, and that was the end of that. I went back on my own this morning, packed with patience, and hoping for luck. I was there for about an hour when I literally gasped - there he was, already checking me out. I've been searching for owls all winter, trying to find one in the wild, completely on my own. This doesn't quite count, since I was given a tip about its location, but it was still quite a thrill.
I've included a photo of what I believe is a Hermit Thrush, taken at the same location. A confirmation on the ID is always welcome.
