I have heard so many time the Great Horned Owl in the trees next to my house but I haven't been lucky yet, haven't seen a single one... I brought my little brother and grandparents outside at night to hear them. They are incredible.
On vacation not so long ago in Costa Rica, we saw near a river a crested owl and later a juvenile spectacled owl! I was so thrilled and it meant so much to me!! Here are the photos I was able to take. I still can't believe I saw them!
