Great Horned Owl
Our Field Guides guide Marcello amazed us again and again with his ability to find birds out in the middle of nowhere. The first time he did it we were driving from Santiago up into the Andes to a ski resort (remember, it was summer there in February). As we went along a road that was hanging off the side of a mountain he said, “Keep and eye our for Least Horned Owls in the trees.” Not 10 seconds later he said, “There’s one!” We piled out of the van and sure enough was this Least Horned owl about 50 yards away from us.
NOTE: The GreatBirdPics database evidently doesn’t have the Lesser Horned Owl in it so I have had to use Great Horned Owl. When I change the database I’ll change the species attribution.
