Great Horned Owl in Waukesha County Wisconsin on May 29, 2025

As I was walking through a park in Waukesha County a Great Horned Owl landed near me. It looks like it is a young owl maybe past the owlet stage.  Other species surrounded this owl in the tree, they were harassing it vocally. Usually you get some American Crows, but there were 2 Eastern Kingbirds, 4 American Goldfinches, American Crows and even American Robins where in the same tree towards the top where the owl was. The owl did not budge with all the racket. Eventually all the birds flew off and the owl was still there. It was a beautiful morning with full sun, mild temps and low winds.
