That’s one big ass owl!!We have two Great Horned Owls around us. They perch in our trees most days. I go out with my dog. She's a snack for them. They are just a bit smaller than that. Up to 25" long and a 3'-5' wingspan. Pretty sure the two around us are on the larger end of that scale. Their wings are huge.

Yes, they had better!
I lost a petite beautiful bob-tailed kitty.
She escaped out the door, and I never saw her again.
Either she became REALLY feral, or a fox, coyote or an owl got her.
We live in the sticks in Maine, so it’s very probable.
I looked for her for a long time...finally gave up!

Back when I was smoking, I stepped out for a smoke late one night.
I heard a flutter of wings, and a HUGE white owl landed on
the telephone wire attached to my house.
The wire was about 10 feet away, beyond where I was standing, so that the owl had to look back at me over it’s shoulder.
I cannot tell you if it was a horned owl, but I do not remember seeing any.
I’m pretty sure is was round headed.
I was so mesmerized by it eyes.
In the yard light they looked the color of a new penny.
A fissure of fear ran straight up my spine, not of the bird,
but of the omens attached to it.
I turned tail and ran back in the house like the coward that I am!
P.S. It was HUGE, that, I remember-probably a female, as they are bigger than males.

I hear owls outside most every night of the year.
The barred owl is easy to identify by its call: who cooks who cooks for you all.
And the screech owl is easy to identify by its call.

Well, it worked great with owls (i.e., finding their own way after getting off the dole), now let’s try it with humans.

and this proves they should all be able to feed themselves..
if they so desire.
