Another shot from the Wildlife Recovery program at the Porkies Visitor Center last Memorial Day weekend, this one is of the world's largest species of owl. The Great Horned, says the bird book, is powerful enough to take prey three times its size, including other owls, small dogs, young gators, raccoons and Great Blue herons.

Henry, I love owls, but I never seen one in this part of the country. All we have in this desert where I live are crows.
