This great horned owl has a lot of personality and appears to be laughing at something funny. He is perched on a fence post in a wooded forest area and you can see his sharp talons. While I was observing him and taking his picture, he appeared to be giving a lecture to a class – he talked, scolded students, told jokes, and laughed. Imagine what stories he could tell! He definitely showed his unique individual style. Great horned owls are also known as raptors or birds of prey.
Provenance
“What a Hoot!” was exhibited in a non-juried group show at the Wooden Stone Gallery on May 6, 2006, during the PhotoWild! Gala benefiting the Carolina Raptor Center. The framed print was donated and 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the print went entirely to this non-profit wildlife rehabilitation center.
