Unlike most owls, the Great Horned Owl does come out during daylight hours. This guy sat on that branch for something like 40 minutes while cars stopped along the roadside in Yellowstone to take a look and capture a few images. The road followed the river far below along a ridge line in the mountains. Although the owl and I were about level height, I was standing by the road and the owl was high in the tree about 50 yards away next to the river.
