John - The photo of the Great Horned Owl eating a mouse was taken during the "free flight show" at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum near Tucson. It's a pretty neat display as all of the birds are, as the name suggests, free to fly away if they chose to do so -- however, they seem to be quite well trained and are very intent on getting their rewards for performing (mice, pieces of meat, etc..). The day that I was there, the birds on display included a Chihuahuan Raven, a Greater Roadrunner, a Great Horned Owl, a Ferruginous Hawk, and two or three Harris's Hawks. It was super!

These are spectacular, Bev. I'm curious about the Great Horned Owl swalling the dead mouse; is that your hand upon which it's sitting? What't the story? I love all the photos; makes me want to join you in Bisbee!
