A great-horned owl is road-kill about a quarter mile down the road. It was precisely the same spot where I slowed for four pheasants crossing the road a few evenings ago, so I suspect he was hit while pheasant-hunting.
Very sad to see, but I hope at least it was one of the voracious birds that was picking off our poultry last summer.

wow -- bet he was a handsome dude when flying (and not attacking the birds) ...
Well, it doesn't look like he even knew what hit him. Probably died faster than the chickens he ate! Mother Nature can be so cruel.
How big are great horned owls? Hopefully you'll notice a decrease in your chicken killings!
He looked as big as our big fuzzy cat, Orange, but I was surprised how light he was. I guess they have to be light-weight in order to fly.
