Excellent, John! It's always special to encounter owls. Lately, I've been hearing a male Great Horned calling from a side canyon here in PV.
Last spring, one of my trail cams by the cabin caught a Great Horned that had come to ground in the wee hours for a rodent under the window feeders. With trail cams you get to see all the wildlife around the property you'd otherwise miss.
For instance, the lost cat that I first saw and captured here on Nov 13, appeared on cams beginning Oct 25. At night on Oct 26, the cat walked through our meadow, and eight minutes later a large black bear followed in the same track, clearly following the cat's scent. That was the last bear through our property this year.
