Midnight Patrol - Great Horned Owl
This morning at 1:30 as I turned into my driveway, a Great Horned Owl jumped up out of nowhere and landed in a tree. As far as I know, about the only time they're on the ground like that is when they've got prey.
If the neighbor's mischievous cat comes up missing, I'll know who is Suspect #1.

Unfortunately, my phone was at 5% battery so the low-power mode made for grainy pics and wouldn't flash for me... but still, cool to see one of these. They're pretty elusive.

Lucky you!
I think I posted here about the web site I was watching that had a Great Horned Owl's nest with 2 hatchlings? Mom and Dad were incredible hunters, and would bring back mostly egrets to eat. I thought that was weird- birds eating birds.

I've seen a couple in the wild. Just like Eagles, they are magnificent birds.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
