My birding started off to a great day hearing a Great Horned Owl around 7:00 am. Had the best luck to actually see it perched high in a beech tree. "Ear" tufts silhouetted against the sky! Then he heard me knock my binoculars against the window and off he flew! Gorgeous. Luckier still later in the day to see either a large Sharp Shinned Hawk or a Coopers Hawk. I think Coopers. Tough to tell - he only perched for 30 seconds before flying away.
