Owl watches for prey
A Great Horned Owl — the largest breed of owl in Arizona — scouts the desert terrain on a recent evening at Nan and Dick Walden’s Rancho Sonado in Amado. Ranch Manager Amanda Borduin says there are two breeding pairs of the large owls on the ranch, and they are “very territorial.” With a wingspan of up to 60 inches (females are generally larger than males), they strike an imposing sight as they watch for prey. |
