If you google them you can see a lot of difference in color phases they have.

It's a young of the year, I would guess.

I've lived in the same area my whole life (48 years)and as a boy on up through maybe 40 years I would sporadically see great horned owls. Always cool when I did btw. But the last 8 or so years I've started to see them more and more to the point now where they are common. I often wonder if at the same time they are the reason I have seen less and less quail over the past decade??? 20 years ago quail ran across my yard all the time and it seemed every bunch of thick trees had a covey. Now I just see the odd covey here and there.
-
Yes, they will set on a covey. I have seen quail so terrified they do not move as the owl waddles over and takes them.
-
Here is a Great Gray owl I saw in the Blue Mountains several years ago as well as a couple Burrowing Owls I saw in Ecuador in November.
-
Trying again with the Great Gray

More from Ecuador trip.

And more.

More

Crazy

Yes it is pretty wild down there. I was there a week and saw 230 species, much more than I have seen in the 28 months I have been in Michigan. My parents moved down there 7 years ago from WA State.

Not an exotic jungle bird, but still one of my favorites

Always have a large group of these hang out in my crab apple tree in December when they come through the Wenas valley. Neat birds

That would be the Cedar Waxwing - they are really cool.
In the pic you can barely make out a small piece of red, next to the white on it's back.
That's the waxwing part of this bird. It's not really a feather, I'm not sure what it is called. It almost seems synthetic, or waxy.
-
One of my favorites for sure. I think this is the Bohemian waxwing. Mostly similar, little bigger.
-
Good call Bone! Now you've got me humming Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen!

Northern Pygmy Owl that I saw back in 2010 while hunting deer in the Huckleberry Unit.

They come in and land in the vine maple a few feet from my feeder. I remove the screen from my bathroom window and have the window open just wide enough for my lens. They get used to big black eye pretty fast. :chuckle:
