Here are two more from today of the GGO hanging out by the Bozeman library. Hopefully John will also be posting some of his once he gets home from his long day of owling. Cheers!

A nice set Steve. From the second shot, I'd say it's been finding food ~ Ron

First shot is pretty neat Steve. Well done. The second looks like the owl is doing a chin-up. Looks like it has eaten recently. Obviously, nothing from the library.

Great shots. I really like the 2nd shot where its feather is blending into the tree bark to camouflage.

a friend of mine who is a vol. at the Montana Raptor Center told me about this owl -seems that were trying to keep this on the down low but from the pictures being posted here and other sites that won't be possible - unfortunately I won't be in Bozeman until July - hope he is still there would love to get a shot

BTW - great shot

Well captured image, Steve. Regarding Tim's remark:

We have had the same phenomenon here: for a number of years, great horned owls have nested and fledged young next to one of our local libraries. The connection of owls and libraries goes back to the time of ancient Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans who held the owl as the symbol of wisdom and the goddess of wisdom Athene (Athena). A library can be called an athenaeum. The genus of the Little Owl (old world) and the Burrowing Owl (new world) is Athene, so your Athenes were right at home.
