Great Horned Owl? Strathroy Conservation Area

These photos are terrible, but I so rarely see an owl at the Strathroy Conservation Area I couldn't resist. This individual was near the Norway Spruce on the west side of the resevoir at about 5:30pm yesterday. The owl was fairly large - I would guess 15" tall, with tufts at the ears.

Great Horned would be likely. I often flush them from their daytime roosts.

Thanks for the help... at first I thought it was a little small for a Great Horned, but after looking through some photos that was my best guess.

I have seen Great Horned at the Conservatin Area as well. Should be nesting right about now I would think.
