December 27th 2006. Rail Trail, Amherst, MA.
Great Horned Owl. Bubo virginianus.

Excellent scope views of this Great Horned Owl from the bike path in Amherst, quite literally a two minute
walk from our house on Baker Street. Almost certainly the same Great Horned Owl has been very vocal
on Baker Street at 4am just about every morning of late!
