Description
I came across this great horned owl while hiking at North Jupiter Flatwoods in Jupiter, Florida. He was sitting on the ground. We noticed each other at the same time. I stopped short in my tracks and he held his ground. I slowly crouched down to get this shot. He remained motionless as I quietly moved away. On my way back, a few minutes later, he was gone.

Amazing find and capture, Tom! Wow! I would have never thought to see one on the ground and not flying off right away! Incredible feather details and those awesome yellow eyes! Exceptional!

Thank you very much Kathy! It's the only time I've ever seen a GHO on the ground!!
