Animated GIF: Owl Dives for Prey

I live only 8 miles from Chicago city limits, in the suburbs, in a very busy area. Year after year, there is a great horned owl pair who call, sit in the tree at dusk right outside my 4th story condo window, and nest nearby. Its an amazing experience, as is the coyotes, white egrets, blue herons, and all other wilflife that live with us. We even have a deer who has twins each year in the bland subdivision across the street each year. Wildlife is simeply amazing. I also had a hawk take a sparrow right off my balcony and eat it in the parking lot below. The wings of both birds are imprinted in the balcony glass from the huge impact of collision. Also have had racing pigeons from flying from Rockford, Illinois back home stop to rest on my balcony. I would take pictures of the bird's leg tags, and do a lot of research to track down the owners. What amazing riches lie in in suburban regions.
