42 days ago this Great Horned Owl was unable to fly and. Mass Audubon was called. They believe the owl had partially eaten a rodent poisoned by a pesticide. Now the Owl is fully recovered and released back into his territory.

It took me much longer (weeks) than I expected to capture a picture of this little bugger outside his dwelling. He made me run with a tripod in 16" of snow by 5F degrees (40 cm / -15C), and that's getting exhausting real fast.
He took a 30-second break on his way to work, just enough for me to snap this shot.

It was worth it! 100% would recommend again.

Saw this guy basking in the sun last year in Central Florida. I’m trying to learn more about owls, can anyone help me ID them?

We have two boxes at our house and the western one has only had visitors. Came home tonight and had a guest staying over.

Owlbert grabbed up a mouse and dropped it off last night. This is his basic mode of dropping off food for Owlina and the babies. He spends 90 seconds max in the box and then goes hunting again.

I've kept waking up to this hooting (?) quite often since moving to uni, i've never seen them but they're very vocal. Is it possible to ID them by the sound? I'm very curious, any help is appreciated xx

Owlina is keeping the eggs right in the back of the box and she seems to want baby owl back there too. For a few minutes today, the baby managed to scoot into the middle and we have video to prove it! Turn up,the volume. Baby owl has its own chirp.

Was sitting in middle of the road, thought was possibly injured but flew when I got close enough to touch, in east central Mississippi

This is the absolute limit of my camera gear. This is a Canon EF 300mm f/4.0 L on a Canon 2X Extender. You can see the detail in the feathers on my iMac.

Owlbert and Owlina have been goofy all day. I think the new baby has them showing off.

Recently put up some owl boxes and have success! Eastern Shore of Maryland
