I heard the unmistakable call of a great horned owl while watching tv. Quickly, I turned down the volume and listened again. Sure enough! It was the sound of a great horned all right. I grabbed the bino's and tried to find it. It was dark outside. Focusing on what looked like a lump in the tree, as the image became clear I was thrilled! Not one but a pair of great horned owls were sitting in the cottonwood tree. One was pruning itself while the other was turning its head 180 degrees in typical owl fashion. I dropped my glasses briefly to walk to another window for a better view and "POOF" they were gone!

What a wonderful treat it was!
