Two Great Horned Owls showed up in a local preserve last year. One began testing its hunting skills. I think they were recently fledged from a close by nest.
The one landed in the tall grass for a few seconds then emerged, regretfully, with nothing to show for its efforts but a little practice.
I was the lucky one. It all happened so fast.
