Great-horned Owl

Chris (aka Pocahontas) spotted some owl pellets on a trail. She looked around and spotted this Great-horned Owl. We like photographing birds that barely move.

We saw four shovelers swimming by (followed by a coot) at the Salton Sea NWR. There were two adults and two juveniles. The adult beak is already large, but in the juvenile, the beak is almost as large as the body.
