. . . it's owl season.
I live near Tryon Creek State Park. If you are having a good afternoon or morning it is quite possible to catch 4 species of owls: Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl, Screech Owl and Saw Whet Owl. This is a particularly good time of the year because it is time for nesting and the leaves are off the tree. Since they are most active near dawn or dusk that is a real plus.
Today I caught this Great Horned owl napping in the trees. Every now and then it would wake up enough to make a couple hoots and then go back to napping.
