Who is watching whom???

Early in September, Jon spied this owl outside. He finally sent me some of the photos he took!!!

 Look at those talons- YIKES! I'm so glad the cats were inside.

 What a baleful stare!! LOL

 I'm assuming the predator finally took his rest. Incredible beauty to find hanging out in the locust tree! Steve and I figured this is a great horned owl. Jon felt it wasn't big enough.
