Spring Migration Hot Spot

This Great Horned Owl was part of the rapture release at the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum. This afforded many great shots of this magnificent owl. The other photos of the Great Horned Owl on www.ComingsBirds.com were also taken of captured owls.

The range of the Great Horned Owl runs from Alaska through much of Canada and most of the United States. If we ever needed a “North American Bird” this could be it.

The final photo 9455 is of a Great Horned Owl in the wild taken at the Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area east of Tombstone, AZ. Compared to most birds in the trees it makes a very imposing presence. I took one step closer and it flew away.
