Dave,
My neighbor filmed an encounter like this last summer just over the wall/fence separating our houses from the desert wash..
The cat won. They are quick and smart

From a lifetime of squeezing wire and cable cutters with max force, tendinitis is a reality these days so I’m probably down to 50 or so lbs and that’s on a good day. Paul

Regal indeed. A shot made for a zoom lens?

Per the Desert Museum: A great horned owl can close its feet with 500 psi (pounds per square inch). The average human exerts- squeezing as hard as we can- 80-150 psi.

Those talons look beyond wicked and makes me glad i'm not a rodent or a young rabbit. YOW!! Paul

An object or real curiosity to me!!!! Lovely placement within the frame and capture of this owl. Traveller
