A Great Horned Owl
I was taking a hike through the woods at Delaware State Park and came accross this Great Horned Owl just sitting in a tree. As I approached, he flew away but didn’t go to far. I was able to quietly walk up on him again, keeping a tree between us so not to spook him, and grab this photo. This is the first time I’ve ever photographed a wild owl. Shortly after the photo, he flew away once again. They are such a large bird with a huge wingspan, it was quite amazing to watch him navigate through the trees and branches.
