Great Horned Owl stretching-0846

Boise, Idaho

I located both the male and female this afternoon, and from the size I believe
this to be the female. In watching GHO in flight, I have never seen the breadth
of their wings until I saw this one stretching. Impressive to say the least.
The male was behind me about 50yds perched in another Cottonwood. He was about
3/4 her size.

Wow! If your weather was like ours today this gal was drying out her feathers, or trying to. Nice shot and unusual pose. Very impressive.
