Great Horned Owl Chicks Sure Do Like To Wander
At least those youngsters on the Montana family farm like to wander but they’re always raised in the dark and confined interiors of old granaries. I’ve often wondered if GHO chicks raised in trees do the same thing at this tender age but I have little experience with that situation.
Great Horned Owl In Flight
Man, does this photo ever bring back memories from long ago! It was taken on May 16, 2007 and it was the first flight shot of any bird I ever attempted.
A Very Expensive Great Horned Owl
Great Horned Owl Fledgling, Old Wood And Rusty Metal In Warm Light
This image is dripping with nostalgia for me so I hope you’ll allow me to fill in a little of the backstory.
Great Horned Owls On The Montana Farm 10 Years Ago Today
The Longest Great Horned Owl Ear Tufts I’ve Seen

Montana Killdeer Chick

Whenever I visit the northwest Montana farm where I grew up I feel like I’m returning home. It’s been 50 years since I actually lived there but I don’t think that feeling will ever leave me.
Great Horned Owl And A Ghostly Apparition
On a recent post about this Great Horned Owl I said I’d soon explain “the rest of the story” about the bird. This is it.
Juvenile Great Horned Owl On The Farm
The Great Horned Owls on the Montana farm are unusually shy this summer so I only had two brief encounters with them on my recent trip.
