that's very nice of you Leslie, many thanks for the nice comments. We certainly do feel blessed to live where so much wildlife abounds so close to home.

thanks Gabee for the comment. I don't have any snowy owls with beaks open, but they will be returning to this area soon, so I might get one later this winter : )

interesting re you tracking the family of Great horned owls. Am not too sure about the question you asked, but believe the owls are capable of making the different types of sounds, as we hear them doin that also, around here. They hoot and shriek at different times.

I have been tracking a Great Horned Owl family. Just last night I noticed that the 3 youngsters' voices have changed from the shriek to hooting. Only a few days ago I heard them still shrieking. How does this change happen, and so quickly?

Hi Katie, hope you get to see the owls before long. We did see them this year, but weren't early enough to see them in their nest, which we'd hoped to do. I got some shots of them way high up, - but the owl family has left now.

I am so jealous you can see owls like that. Sometimes I hear them in our woods but I have rarely seen one. Have you seen them this year?

Guest - Jan 29, 2006 01:42 PM EDT
very late with this thanks also, Hazelnut, almost a year later! glad you like the pics. there should be some new owl babies at that place soon, haven't checked for sometime.

Guest - Jan 29, 2006 01:39 PM EDT
late with this, but thanks Ganesh. The rabbit was in another photo, which I just recently dumped. Have dumped a lot of pics lately, about 300 I think : )

What a beautiful site to see while you are walking...we don't have to many here. To City-fied.

Hey, Really nice photo that. Wheres the rabbit though? And how do you know its a "he" ?

Alandra, you just blow me away with your subjects.True Art.

I was just joking. I knew you'd bump me down, that's why I told you to check the avian box. km is Karen Moen she has several bird photos with high scores but hasn't checked the avian box yet.

Guest - Apr 07, 2005 03:34 PM EDT
Hi Austin, sorry about that, but I wasn't aware of first place in these sub cats as haven't checked 'em out yet. what is km?

Guest - Apr 07, 2005 02:21 PM EDT
Hey! You knocked me out of first place in the bird category! :) Where is km?

Guest - Apr 06, 2005 03:44 PM EDT
Beautiful bird. I use to know where a pair lived. Those buggers loved eating my chickens. Strange thing was they would only eat the heads.

Guest - Apr 06, 2005 01:32 PM EDT
thanks Petra, Tam and Dud. yeah, I love this one too, and like recalling the time we saw them there that day, and took the pics of them, especially this one.

Guest - Mar 28, 2005 05:56 PM EDT
I really love this shot of the owl.

Guest - Oct 22, 2004 06:16 PM EDT
What a beautiful owl, I am green with envy that you get to see these guys in the wild.

Hi Deb, it was early evening (summertime here : ) and this owl was sitting in some cottonwoods, overlooking a field, preparing for the evening's hunt. That one is one of the 3 youngsters. Did you see the entry where one owl had a rabbit, the legs are dangling below the branch where the owl is perched.

Guest - Jul 27, 2004 04:15 PM EDT
Wow! How come the owl is out in the daylight? Is it guarding the young or hunting? We have only 1 native owl in NZ, the Morepork. It's very little but has a huge call "Morepork. Morepork"
