Great Horned Owl face off

[EricD]

I have been following a couple Great Horned Owls nest this season. At this particular nest there is an intruder GHO hanging around and the GHO couple that has the nest and chicks seem to defend it well. My thought is there is another GHO nest nearby that I haven't located and they are having a little turf war.
During this fly by below the one sitting on the branch never even flinched when approached!
