Description

A beautiful female great horned owl enjoys her high vantage point from the top of a tree in Jackson, Wyoming on a cold January day. It was quite a thrill to discover this beautiful female great horned owl while in Wyoming for a winter photo shoot. I had expected to possibly encounter some owls while there, but I had always imagined we'd find them either in Grand Teton National Park or the surrounding countryside. This lady was ensconced in a large cottonwood tree located in a neighborhood in Jackson! She was totally calm and unbothered by several children playing nearby, cars coming and going, and people walking by beneath her home. The beautiful afternoon light also helped to snag some of those owl images that I had been in hopes of getting.
