Hi All, We were heading up to Delaware State Park Sunday around 11:45 pm to check out the Perseid Meteor Shower. When leaving our house (located in Lantern Chase Development, west side of Delaware behind Kroger Plaza), we were shocked to see something fly between the houses. We went across the street to see a Great Horned Owl perched on the apex of a house. We followed the owl around the neighborhood with our binoculars as he would perch on other houses. I half expected a police car to pull up as we were standing in front of various houses looking in our binoculars above bedroom windows! It was quite the site. I constantly hike the woods looking to spot my first owl, and all I had to do was to walk out my front door! He was awesome! ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
