Great Horned Owl

To top off the weekend, Liz and I heard a Great Horned Owl (190) while riding our bikes Saturday night in a residential part of Riverside.  We were able to track it down and see the bird's silhouette.

That's the sixth Restoration owl of the year (Burrowing, Great Horned, Northern Pygmy, Northern Saw-whet, Barn, Western Screech... although Matt gets all the good ones).  We should hit double digits by the end of the year. Think we can bring it up to 12?

It was also, technically, a life bird for me (since I started my official list last March).  I think the only other GHO I have seen came canoeing the Yellow Breeches with Matt.  That was before I broke Dave T.'s Canoe.
