I love owls. They are stealthy and mysterious. Getting a picture of one you must consider yourself lucky. Great horned owls are a beautiful bird. (my favorite) Seen a few, but never had my camera with me. Last year a Northern Saw Whet Owl was in a tree in my yard. I tried to duplicate his call. Next thing I knew, it flew down and landed next to me on my porch. I sat there for 30 seconds getting a close up of an owl one foot away from me before he flew off. Sometimes, the best things in life are events like this.
Wow what an experience!! When i heard and watched video that great horned are aggressive among owls i said think i got my fav one!! Coz aggression reveals the true ability, personality, nature of the particular!!
You an owl knowledgeier??? Just wanna ask is great horned can be as a pet and live among other pets ?? Affectionate towards its owner humans??
The reason why I love owls it’s because they are mysteriously and serious like ik that it looks like it’s wearing glasses but there beautiful and having a good ability knowing what to grab their rodents or prey
@@ckryses3962 I think owls can be pets in the sense that falcons can; more like a working relationship than a pet.
I love her owl blouse! How many of you didn't even notice? 🤔😁
i noticed twice, but didnt see the owls, only the hooters.
The owl has a nice blouse
I didn't notice. It's cool
@@blackstone3323 bahahaha
I didn't. You have a good eye!
Oh how beautiful. He is precious.
Hi there
We have one of these in our local neighborhood and I can hear it at nights. Sort of a forlorn yet peaceful sound.
look at those feathers, so badass.
Phillip Dean look at the bird itself , even more badass
Jason Voorheese what😂 that was so random
@sneksnekitsasnek wait what
I think he is used to the presentations. He’s fairly calm.
I like her shirt. You can see the imagery of owl patterns all across it.
I didn’t even notice that until I read this lol. Freakin cool.
It should a bot
Boy
Sorry kagerju...i thought you were talking about bird in ironic way
Baby owls don’t give a hoot.
In PA on my back porch listening to one right now
Talk amazing. To the people that do this for a living ...great job. We and (they) need you.
Great educator! Well informed and kept the owl as calm as she could.
Gorgeous girl with awesome owl
I love Great Horned Owls. There was a pair near my parents home in California and I loved to listen to them talking to each other. They are so big and majestic looking and have an amazing wing span.
Thanks for sharing your story, Priscilla. It's wonderful to live near wildlife and observe:-)
I hear em more in winter.
Wow!! He looks mechanical! So freakin’ cool!!
This was awesome, well done that lovely lady, I learned lots about the G H Owl from this. Thank you so much.
Sky Tiger!!

ya no kidding "got hit by a garbage truck", yikes, poor guy.
I am amazed at his throbbing throat and hiw how attentive he is tonher. Amazing! Thank you.🙋🏼♀️💞🌟
Thks. for all that information. Woke up to the sound of a G.H. Owl here on Grosse Ile, mi, an Island in the Detroit River with extensive woodlands.
Beautiful Owl!
Well done and very informative! What a beautiful owl!
Oscar seems to appreciate his current situation.
Oscar is just happy to be there, don't blame him.
I agree.
I used to be terrified of owls but then I found this channel and now I see how cute they can be.
I love great horned owls, but idk about barn owls. Those things look terrifying.
She explains things extremely well.
Glad you found this video interesting, Jonas. Have a great summer!
Gorgeous creatures.
What a breathtaking beauty he is ❤
He's so cute ❤️
I just moved to east granby, CT & have heard great horned owls every night since then. Absolutely amazing!
Great presentation! I learned a lot about Great Horned Owls...and I'm motivated to learn more. Cyndi Fields, California
Walking the back part of my parents property, I saw a large cat or dog in the tall grass. As I approached a great horned owl whipped its head around and with yellow eyes stared me down. It must have been 3 times the size of this owl. It was incredible.
Exciting to see, Casey! Thrilling. Nothing like the experience of locking eyes with a wild animal. I see you and YOU see me. WOW! I hope you have many more connections with the wild world in the future:-)
These creatures must be the origins for many myths and legends since they are quite frightening and majestic.
He is gorgeous, he listens to you too🤩
We have Great Horned Owls living in our neighborhood and calling every evening. I've seen a female taking wing on various occasions from pine trees around our houses - she's magnificent! Our backyard is also a certified wildlife habitat, and the Owls stay fairly close because of the rabbit, rat and squirrel population, as well as because of all of the other birds who feed at our house. We are SO lucky. Great Horned Owls are indeed beautiful and magical.....silent and deadly! I enjoy AmericanP's post - when I tried to sing back to our female, she left. I'll keep trying!
I have a small crush on the narrator >
Beautiful Guirl beautiful Bird
He is gorgeous thank you very much for saving him i wish there was more people in this world like you again thank you for all you have done god bless and y'all are in my daily prayers
Really nice presentation with lots of information!
Well done!
Back in 2019 me and my sister found and saved a great horned owlet that fell out of its nest. It was a pretty cool experience. We called our local raptor center, they came and got it, gave it a checkup, and put it back the next day. They called us and told us that the mother was still taking care of it.
Cool info!!! Thanks for sharing:)
Love your show, I have one in my blacksmith shop in Austin Texas, they are fantastic birds .🦅👍
Awesome Bird!
Thank you. I enjoyed your video. I'm glad there's folks like you. Love owls.
Glad you appreciate all this wild world has within it, Delma! Thank you for your appreciation.
Oscar is such a beautiful owl! the way he moves his head is almost robotic.
great talk. Thx!
Owls are fascinating creatures !
Excellent presentation.
Amazing animal, and the video was very informative and well put
Wonderful owl 🤗💗
I once saw a giant owl and what I think was an equally large raven in a stare off on my neighbors lawn. I couldn't believe how big they were. It was the only time I saw an owl.
Very cute bird
"that fucking garbage truck now I am here with this person...." -owl
Just seen one on my early morning run on top of a light post in the high desert (Palmdale, CA).
Just heard one of these last night about 11 pm. out in our mesquite tree in the front yard. Awesome info!
Can someone tell me if it is actually the owl’s respiration that makes the neck move like that?
Thank you for sharing this video. It has been very informative.
Beautiful!
Love ,Love it being a night owl myself , a few years back on a early spring Nebraska morning along side
the Mighty Mo River I walked up on a huge Great Horned Owl (probably female due to large size) eating a bird she never missed a mouthful , speaking softly I just eased back & away snapping photos, few days later I went back gathered up the remains taking them to a Conservationists ( Game Warden) finding out that her breakfast was a Red Tailed Hawk
NOTE to left of this comment is one the photos of her as my thumbnail
very beautiful and stylish bird!
So cool. Eastern shore Maryland here and just heard an owl outside letting my little lab pup out naturally a bit worried and looked up his sound and ended up here. Cool info and a awesome to listen to.
Very beautiful creatures, I was lucky enough for one to come visit me sitting on a rock during the winter day in my backyard. So sad when it left, it was a very majestic moment
PRECIOUS ANIMALS.....SO SPECIAL......LVENATURE! !
Beautiful Bird thanks for sharing and taking care of these Great Birds of Prey! We have 2 Great Horned Owls on Our Property and planning to build Boxes very soon
@um me they mean owl boxes. It's like a birdhouse for owls.
What a lovely guy.
Awesome owl shirt
3:05 "What'd you say?"

What a beautiful creature. Love to see and hear one. Still live in the country but miss their call

He's beautiful
2 beautiful Birds!! :)
Wow it's adorable...... I love owls
The intro Oscar did Hey hey hey!
all I see when I see a great horned owl is bokuto XD
Bald eagles have been seen attacking and expiring great-horned owls with relative ease. Eagles are more than a match for horned owls. Chicks can and do fall prey to great-horned owls but once the chicks reach a size near to their parents they are relatively safe from attack by horned owls. Also the greatest weight ever verified to be carried by any living bird of prey was a Bald eagle. It had carried off a 15 lb mule deer fawn that it eventually dropped and landed on a power line which caused a power outage in East Missoula.
@Darkasknightfall - quite true. Also, seasoned adult Red tailed Hawks, Ferruginous and Goshawks, especially females are on record killing adult great horned owls - especially in the daytime. Ghos are tough customers but so are many of the species of creatures they attack & often the owl doesn't always come out on top. Also, while they are strong, they cannot lift and carry off really heavy prey like an eagle. Ghos don't usually carry off 10 plus pound food items. Several pound like an adult rabbit or skunk are more common prey items and rats, mice & squirrels are even more common. Cats? Smaller feral cats or kittens yes but for the most part, a solid healthy 14- 15 pound plus adult cat a gho won't really mess with as a cat that size, especially a feral male could take the owl to the woodshed, if you get my drift. She embellished just a bit about these owls because they don't take just anything and everything- and even some of the prey items they do catch are on record turning the tide on the owl, killing it, such as another large eagle, hawk, snake that can constrict, porcupine, large cat etc etc. They don't have it that easy.
Sky tiger. ❤
Gorgeous Raptor
I think all that throat movement was equivalent to a dog panting...it must have been hot and humid that day.
I love the owl blouse!
Great Horned Owls are great hunters but they can't handle a Bald Eagle usually. Eagles have been known to kill owls that steal their nests. They even have been killed by Red Tail Hawks, but they usually can handle most hawks especially under the cover of darkness.
What a handsome creature. Sad that he cannot fly. I hope he is still alive.
Such fascinating knowledge about them! And to think people think that such amazing abilities/features happened by undirected forces & a lot of time. This bird was clearly designed by his Creator. I mean, look at how beautiful he is!
Thank you for your very informative video im in Indiana and have been hearing one almost every night and finally decided to find out what kind I'm hearing his sound matches most and even if its wrong I'm pretty happy to learn so much about them
In all seriousness what face is he making he's like; ◉∀◉
I love owls ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow what beautiful Owl ❤️
Thanks for an intro to Oscar. Don't You have to protect Your eyes when holding the bird so closely??
I think that because Oscar is working a regular gig as a program ambassador bird that it would be very unlikely that this could occur. One always needs to be alert to the animal's presence/mood
, reading its body language (stress, fear, etc) and any other display or sound that informs one of its emotional and physical states.
I live in so Calif and we get GH's in Jan and Feb. Years ago while exercising my 20 lb Jack Russell hitting tennis balls to him at night in a school field. I could hear a GHO hooting in some tall trees nearby but thought nothing of it. Suddenly when my Jack was running for a ball the owl swooped in an hovered about 15ft above my dog for a few seconds I think sizing up whether my dog was small enough to go ahead and attack him for prey. My JRT was all muscle with huge canine's for a small dog and was a tough lil dog so I wasnt worried. I love these birds.
Wow! Cool story. Tough pup:-)
@@CTWhiteMemorial Even in So Cal at the the lowest temps of the winter we will get small groups of GHO's...Check my Channel to see Great Coopers Hawks photo.s
I would never let my small dog continue running around after hearing an owl nearby again after that experience. Yikes
I love owl's. Because they prey. 😇 I no you get better🤗
綺麗ですね！！！
There’s a few of these that hang out by my house. They keep mice numbers down, and hang out on my roof, and on two poles I have for a clothesline just outside my windows. They talk a lot too sometimes, the baby sounded like a baby human trying to hoo sorta. The two adults were talking one night for about 15-20 minutes. Nonstop back and forth. So then I joined in too. They both left without a sound. 😕
😂😆 The Face he made when she said they are lazy 3:06
So beautiful
While walking on a trail by my house on day I saw a GHO first and only time I've ever seen one It flew from one side of trail to the other perching in tree about 30ft up and clearly visible I watched it for 20 minutes. I couldn't't believe how big it was much much larger than Oscar. It didn't have that white breast marking, because of it's size and listening to the description I assume it was a female. It didn't seem to care about me at all but was focused on my dog (large dog) so I don't think it was contemplating attacking it, just watching it. I took some pictures of it. BTW my dog was oblivious to the owl didn't even know it was there. I was surprised to see it when I did it was around 4-5pm with plenty of daylight left. I thought they pretty much hide out during the daylight hours.
I usually see them right before or during sunset. But my sister saw a barred owl in some trees next to a Portland Oregon parking lot in the middle of the day. With those markings she would've never seen him if he hadn't moved. He was still there when she came back to her vehicle.
I live in Belleville, IL about 20 minutes from St. Louis, Missouri and I hear these guys from time to time but about 2 months ago in town one of these guys snatched a tiny white Maltese pup from the yard of some people and the dogs owners were merely feet away! Scares me so bad because I have 2 chihuahuas and I see big Red Tail Hawks constantly too!
It is so important to be aware of the diversity of wildlife living nearby, Amy. This knowledge will help us avoid such tragedys-hopefully! It is a smart thing to always be with small dogs when they have outdoor time. So sorry for your neighbors' loss:-(
Nice Set Of Hooters You Got There.
Looks like a calico cat with wings!
Translucent eyes are cool!
