I love your intro to this post.<br /><br />We too have a pair that nest near our home and I expect to hear them soon. I have been lucky enough to see these gorgeous birds in the early morning and watch as they silently float away on a breath of air.<br /><br />It is amazing to me how many different color variations Great Horned Owls seem to carry. They are my favorite owl. I have been known to stand at my bedroom door after waking in the middle of the night, listening to their sweet calls.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-15688589520056606012011-11-07T04:07:54.037-05:002011-11-07T04:07:54.037-05:00What a stunning bird!!

This bird is magnificent. So big and powerful, he has a commanding gaze and never let us forget how powerful he really was.
