The Great Horned Owl, Bubo virginianus, also known as the Tiger Owl, is a large owl native to the Americas. It is an adaptable bird with a vast range and is the most widely distributed true owl in the Americas. Owls have spectacular binocular vision allowing them to pinpoint prey and see in low light. The eyes of Great Horned Owls are nearly as large as those of humans and are immobile within their circular bone sockets. Instead of turning their eyes, they turn their heads. Therefore, their neck must be able to turn a full 270 degrees in order to see in other directions without moving its entire body.

Out on my own today, grabbing a few caches along the nice power trail. Nice day for caching too! Thank you for this placement Imustravel2000.

Though no owls were present today, I could see why this would be a good spot to see one! Thank you for the placement!

Still working on a county run. Today I had a few counties in south east Wyoming and across the border into Nebraska to pick up. Then I headed back to Denver for my flight back. I had extra time so I cached around the airport some more picking up a lot of Mondo caches. I signed the logs as FeatheredFriends or as "FF" on the smaller logs to save space. This was my '35th' find for today. Thanks 'imusttravel2000' for a fun time in the area.

Before I have to go back to Switzerland, FWIA and Harvestmoon2 decided to get some caches around the Denver Airport area. Always a lot of fun on our trips!

Thanks to all the CO’s for placing the caches. Best regards, Izzifix

TFTC! Had to bring my cousins, FWIA and Izzifix up to Denver as they leave for home soon. What does one do on an overnight trip? Need I say more? SL HM2

Ah yes, back in beautiful Colorado with Izzifix & Harvestmoon2 for family time and caching. A couple days left until I head back to Iowa and Izzifix goes back to Switzerland.

Thanks to all the CO’s for placing the caches we enjoyed hunting.

Thought I'd get an early start to beat the heat, But already feels like it's going to be a hot one! Didn't see any owls, but did find the cache. TFTH SL
