    When my oldest son was 12, he called a great horned owl out of our woods. I was sooooo astonished, I didn't get a photo - one of the great regrets of my life. But, the memory will never leave me.
    It was dusk. And we could hear him Hoo-Hooing.
    He came gliding out of the trees on completely silent wings.
    He landed on a branch about 30 feet from us!!! He then spent a full two minutes checking us out as we gawked at him in awe. Then, he gracefully lifted off the branch and swooped down over our heads to get a closer look!
    Incredible!

    Nothing compares to the gaze of a great horned owl! My first encounter wasn't at all like yours.. I was in Colorado Springs when one landed on the stop sign i was at. I stayed and watched him for awhile. Turns out he was stalking a cat, which the owners found in time to save him from becoming bird food. I was in awe, telling everyone I saw about it for days..

    I love the blue jays that I feed all year round. They really love the peanuts I feed them in the summer and fall. In winter and spring they are fed a mix of seeds. When I walk out my back door they gather in the trees directly above the house. There is one jay who has very few feathers around his neck making it look a bit scrawny. I've named him Henry. Thank you so much for such a wonderful video.

    Hi Lesley,
    Nova is a brave mumma!! Loved seeing the sweet video of Blue and Sweet Girl feeding their babies. The first thing that came to me when I heard the cry at 8:45 was how much it sounded like a kitty of mine from years ago. She had a high-pitched "double-meow".
    Those shots of the GH owl are beautiful. I chuckled at Hatch - probably telling you all about it "You should've seen how BIG this guy was! And Nova tried to scare him off too! It was craaaazy!"

    Tripod or not, wife & I are in awe of the quality of your presentations. On predation: Yes, it can be tough to favor one animal over another when everything is eating something else. We have a fellow birder in town (Cathartidology on YT) who favors Turkey Vultures and is learning about them quite rapidly.

    Lesley, this is the best quality production! This is one of my very favorites so far! Thank you!I love your lovely, calm voice and all the information that you share. Even the graphics and the music that you choose are outstanding! The way that you identify the birds to us by their nicknames adds so much to the video. The horned owl was such a special treat! Angel and Mini Tim are favorites of mine. The gray jays remind me in form and personality of our Florida Scrub Jays. To me, your videos are more enjoyable than most nature specials because yours are so personal and include just as much interesting information, plus amazing camera work. I’m sorry if I just go on and on, but I really can’t thank you enough for the quality of your work and the fact that you devote so much time and effort to it. I wish I could impart to you how much it enriches my life to join you in your beautiful woodland walks with your amazing birds. Thank you so very much for every video you have produced! ❤️😘

    There used to be a Great Horned Owl couple who lived at my apartment place a couple years ago. They moved from the woods nearby only for a season, and then moved back. I think the neighbors, the crows, made them leave.

    I live in the Rocky Mountains. I used to let my orange tabby, Pete, out on my back deck alone. Until one day when he was out there I heard the Magpies raising a real ruckus. I went right out, and there was a huge Great horned Owl sitting about 30 ft away on a pine branch staring at my cat. That was the last time Pete went out without me escorting him... Another reason for me to love Magpies.
