This was the closest we've ever been to a Great Horned Owl while on foot before!
We were walking down the nature trail at the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge and this owl flew out in front of us and landed in a nearby tree.
We stood in awe with our cameras clicking away as he posed for us every which way we could ever ask for.
He even shimmied his way into a tree hollow right in front of us, too! (I'll be posting those crazy photos next week.)
We eventually spotted a second owl (his sweetheart, I presume), but she was sleeping among some thick branches and I wasn't able to get a clear photo.
Whooo knew we'd finally get some close-ups of an owl, steps away from an observations platform at our local wildlife refuge?! I'm tellin' ya, this is the greatest hobby ever!
What's the closest you've ever been to one of these magnificent creatures?
