Another Great Horned Owl, in owl canyon, Bodega Bay

Picture
It was a foggy August morning at the coast, so this great horned owl is looking a little damp.
Picture
I walked to the top of owl canyon, where the owl relocated without knowing I was there, and it is looking surprised to see me again. Owl Canyon, Bodega Bay, August 2019
Picture
Cautiously, the owl turns around on its perch, so that it can have a clear fight path away.
