Alert for an instant

Look at the size of those talons, LOL! I've just noticed that it looks like blood on his feathers, so presumably he had eaten something recently. Love his Licorice Allsorts eyes. Usually when I see this adult male, his eyes are tightly shut and he doesn't move. This afternoon, he actually moved a few times, to do a bit of preening and to glance around.This is one of "my" Great Horned Owls, i.e. down at Sikome in Fish Creek Park. His mate was perched on the same branch, off to the right. Weather was beautiful today and I just couldn't stay at home. We know that the weather will change for the worse and perhaps then I won't mind staying indoors.
