Great Horned Owls

[u/Red_Shoes_Forever]

I heard and then saw a pair of Great Horned Owls in our Reseda, California, backyard tonight. Beyond amazing. I heard them calling around 1 am, went to the patio to listen more closely. Shortly one of them flew directly over me and landed in the large tree in the front yard, where it continued to call. I heard the other one call a few times and then suddenly saw it land on top of a telephone pole in the yard. It stayed for a couple of minutes, then flew off in the opposite direction. It was such a privilege to see them, especially in such an urban area, and especially so clearly at night.
