Great Horned Owl
You don't often see a great horned owl on the ground, like this one found near the beach just north of Tampa, Florida. One of the interesting things about these large owls is that they don't build their own nests. Instead, they will take over an already existing nest of another bird or animal such as a crow, squirrel, hawk or osprey if it finds that nest to be suitable for its needs.
