A lovely, big great horned owl sitting right on the electric pole in the yard at dusk while robins and grackles swooped around squawking in alarm. While I think an owl would have to be motivated by serious need to tackle an adult cat instead of smaller prey, I'm very sure they could dispatch one with a bit of effort.
We'd never hurt an owl but I'm really, really glad Chloe is back so I don't have to look at this beauty with suspicion.
That is so very cool to snap a picture like that. Pretty stunning sky, too...a new color way perhaps?
ReplyDeleteHere in southern Georgia, we warn Yankees not to leave their toy dogs outside, even if the weather isn't a zillion degrees (as it is right now). The local hawks love the pooches, and not in a pleasant way. Not to mention that we have water moccasins, cottonmouths, coral snakes, buzzards, and gators. Oh, and owls too.
