Friday, August 30, 2019 Great Horned Owl!

Seward, Alaska

Around 8 pm, I received a call about a very vocal GREAT HORNED OWL hanging out at the new bike park in Forest Acres.

I rushed over just in time to meet my friends as the first welcome raindrops since June spattered down in the gathering dusk. They kindly guided me to the last place they had seen the owl. 

Yes! On a branch just above a handy yellow marker rope perched the large brown owl. It was staring straight at us, its large yellow eyes illuminated as if by bright lamps. I got off a few photos before it launched and flew off. 

An owl in August! So fun to see!

Happy Birding!
