The fox playing with the mouse is a great series of pics too. Good stuff Ric!
Ha! too funny. Great Horned owls seem to like it high, high up in pine trees, usually close to trunk......look for owl pellets and white poop around base of tree....dead give away. Barreds seem to like it a little lower in the branches, maybe 15 or 20 ft, again mostly in pines. Crows and bluejays going nuts are a good give away of their position. Screech owls I usually hear at night and find the general area then go back in the morning and try to find. they nest in tree cavities, so once you find them you will usually keep seeing them in same tree. (yes, im bored and need to fish.....hahahaa)
