Great Horned Owl, female. Photo by Dennis Demcheck, a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) employee. He snapped this great photo of the owl nesting in a Live Oak tree. Here’s what he had to say about it. “She was ‘staring me down’ because she had eggs to protect. It was taken in southwest Louisiana in the Mermentau River Basin near the town of Thornwell.” Posted on Tumblr by the US Department of the Interior, 3/22.
