We have at least one great horned owl in our neighborhood. He's lived here for a very long time. We hear his call echoing in the woods. We see him flying low from tree to tree or across the road while we are walking early in the mornings before daybreak. Once or twice, I have walked right past one sitting on a roof or in a tree, like 5 -10 feet away, and stood and watched it, but it did not seem worried that I was there. I had my little yorkie with me, but he was not interested. Once I thought I heard a dog barking, but it was the owl in a tree.
