I was standing outside at 8pm, nearly dark, listening for woodcock when the most gosh-awful squaking came flying up our lane! A bird the size of a Great Blue Heron or Sandhill Crane came flying low toward the house - maybe 30 feet above the driveway – with its neck outstretched and head a little lower than the body. Behind it came a large bird the size and shape of a Great Horned Owl! The larger bird banked around the house along the woods then kept climbing and turning to get away. The pursuer landed in a tree at the edge of the woods. I think it saw me standing in front of the house and gave up the chase. I slipped back into the house for my binoculars but by the time I returned it was gone. I could not positively tell what either bird was but this was the largest avian predator/prey display I have ever seen! Does anyone know if Great Horned Owls are known to take birds as large as a GBH? My neighbor and I have seen the Great Horned in the area and there is a wetland about ½ mile away in the direction the birds came from.
