Today at noon I spotted a Great Horned Owl in Shelby Park near Shelby Bottoms 
trailhead.  My daughter wanted to stop at the playground and check it out 
while we were riding our bikes, so we stopped and played around.  I noticed a 
strange shape against a large tree limb, and when I checked it through my 
binoculars, a Great Horned Owl appeared.  In case it sticks around until dark, 
here 
are directions to it once in Shelby Park (Nashville).  Go to the Shelby Bottoms 
parking loop area, but instead of pulling into the bottoms lot, look opposite 
the train trestle to a creek running between the ballfields across the field 
and smaller road loop.  There is a red and green playground on the left, not 
far from a bridge on the main road.  From the playground look above the swings 
in front of the creek.  The owl was on a large sloping tree limb, and as we 
approached, he just crouched against it more.  He is easily spotted from the 
playground.
