We had one roosting behind our house a while back , you'd hear him hooting in the morning . Those Great Horned Owls are big
Any ideas on what he is after? Coming to the same spot in the yard at least the 4 times I've seen him. I wish he would nab the gophers hard at work in several locations on my property. However, none at that location.
I came home late one night a few years ago to find a GH standing on the cab of my old work truck. He was huge. Looked larger, but had to be nearly 2 feet tall.
Got a chihuahua or other ankle biter?
i had a horned owl attack my small lap dog once. i have seen them steal every piglet out of a litter also.
Agreed , I am an avowed Ophidiophobic , as far as it concerns me all snakes are all either a Fer de Lance or a Boomslang . Without exception if a snake crosses my path its going to get the shovel, shotgun or whatever I can find to dispatch it with.
Mouses, rats, gophers, bunnies, and anything furry he can hop on including cats and chihuahuas

Agree. That's why this is so curious to me. There are plenty of small mammals and reptiles nearby, but not at this spot.
My dog is a Jack Russell that is fat as a town dog. She chased the owl away yesterday and he came back as soon as we were out of sight.
Nice hooter.
