As if on cue just ahead of Superb Owl Sunday, a great horned owl hooted nearby just after sundown at the end of yesterday's hike in Wildcat Canyon Regional Park near Richmond, California. Took me a few minutes to find it in the trees. Quite a specimen! #SuperbOwl #birds #NaturePhotography #California 馃惁

A great-horned owl with mottled feathers, a black beak, yellow eyes, and prominent "ears" perches on a horizontal oak tree branch with out-of-focus green leaves behind it.

@stshank there's a mated pair that live on the border between my neighborhood, a golf course, a bunch of avocado and orange groves, and some wilderness areas. Have been watching them since I first found them during pandemic, have watched their own chicks grow up and go solo, and have a few photos ... but never more than I can get with a phone camera from 50 feet, at best =\ I sure do love hearing them most evenings after sunset though.

@darkuncle We have a pair nearby too, sometimes on the summer. I love it when they hoot to each other
