Flying Tiger

Yesterday I heard the call of the Great Horned Owl as dusk settled upon the forest.  The horned owl is common around here and it's call is quite distinctive.

It is coincidental that this morning when I let the Labs out before breakfast there was bunny fur scattered all about a section of the front yard.  It occurred to me that in the course of the evening Mr. Rabbit had fallen prey to Mr.Owl.

The horned owl is particularly gutsy being one of the few birds of prey that will take porcupines and skunks.  Plucky bird the horned own is - which is why it is sometimes called the Flying Tiger.
