These pictures are from Sapelo Island, Georgia, which is a barrier island north of Cumberland Island National Seashore. We saw this Great Horned Owl standing in the middle of the road and when we got closer we realized that something was wrong with it because it just started hopping away instead of flying. So my professor and his grad student went after it and caught it. We took it back to the UGA marine institute so somebody could hopefully rehab it. We heard about a month later that it had made a full recovery and was released!!For more Camera Critters, click here!

Wow! talk about being in the right place at the right time. I'm glad your story had a happy ending for this beautiful creature.
Oh my goodness..what a find. They are some a top predator. We have a pair in the back woods, but I don't see them, I only hear them. Beautiful... Michelle
