We had a Great Horned Owl visit this week. He chose a tree in our backyard and spent about 5 hours there. One of our Abert squirrels found him to be interesting enough to require a little further inspection. The crows were next. I was surprised that it took them a long time to see him. The crows only stayed for about 15 minutes harassing him. Normally they continue their barrage of sound and flybys until he flies away but this time they just gave up. I love the way owls seem to have a stoic attitude toward the crows, just sitting there and refusing to acknowledge them. He did however show some interest in the squirrel probably because they are normally on his menu. This owl (or his ancestors) has been in our neighborhood for years. We can hear his calls in the morning 2 to 4 times a week.
