Great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) at Whitewater Draw.
This is probably the most photographed owl in Arizona. Hundreds of people visit Whitewater Draw during the winter sandhill crane season, and this bird can be reliably found in the rafters of the work shed at the preserve. The owl seems completely inured to the people that gather under his perch for a better look.
The Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area is in Cochise County, near the town of McNeal, Arizona.
