Leslie had taken a break from posting her Bird Nerd videos. I was glad to see a new one today. Check out her page she has done hundreds of films.

Thanks for posting.

This is Hootie, he drops by most evenings about dark before beginning his night time hunting. Pretty birds for sure.

We have a few around here. It's definitely fun to watch and listen to them.

They nest on my place most years. The youngsters are fun to watch when they're fledging, out of the nest but can't yet fly. They'll "hide" behind a branch, but peer around it to see what I'm up to.

They are hell on rabbits. I read where some DNR guys climbed up and looked in a Great Horned Owl nest and there were 20 rabbit skulls in it. They are absolutely beautiful birds though!

They kill a lot of turkeys on the roost. Look at those predator eyes. I love to hear them calling. Choctaw thinks they are forwarners of death. Turkey hunters use hoots to locate roosting turkeys. Scientists studied their wings to develop stealthy helicopters. Interesting birds.

Turkey hunters used a Barred Owl call for shock gobbling turkeys.

Just a night time buzzard.

Talk about something that is freaky to watch walk.

A badass of the raptor world for sure. I've watched many outdoors over the years but was at an outdoor show about 10 years ago and a guy had one there that was rescued, I was 2 ft. away from this bird and studied it for awhile, the thing was absolutely incredible!

Found a dead one once, an accident the night before. smelled like a skunk. Ask my bud, a x Ky. Wildlife educator about that. he told me that a GHO was one of few, maybe the only natural enemy of a skunk.

a hungry son of gun right there.
