[birdky] Great Horned Owl in Lexington Park

I was out in Meadowbrook Park, south Lexington, a few days ago.  Around about 
4pm, a very large bird swooped in and alighted atop a tree about 40 yards from 
me.  I didn't have my binoculars, but I am pretty sure it was an owl, and one 
with conspicuous ear tufts--I don't have any prior experience with owls--but my 
guess is it was a Great Horned Owl.  I don't know if they are so common as to 
be not worth reporting, but it was exciting to a beginner like myself!  The 
Bluejays were giving him hell!
   
  Best birding wishes,

  p.s. Also fun little residents of this park are the Kinglets, I have had 
excellent looks at both Golden-Crowned and Ruby-Crowned Kinglets.
