Media notes
Owl photo at a distance of 250 feet with its back to me. It heard me walking, turned it head 180 degrees. Initially, before it moved and I saw its "ears" I thought it a bald face hornet nest. Sevaral photos taken of the owl show a whitish neckline characterist of a Great Horned owl.
Observation details
Owl in tree surrounded by robins. Second owl flew low along mud road passing me by only a few feet. It flew silently and dipped nearly to the road level before rising a few feet and flying out of sight into evergreen foliage 300 feet distance from me. Time of flight was 4 p.m. and toward the fading light.
