[cobirds] Great Horned Owl - Adams County

Several times recently while driving past 120th and Federal in
Westminster, we thought we saw an owl in the trees on the southwest
corner. Today, I was able to slow down and get a better look. I
definitely see the familiar outline of a Great Horned Owl on one of
the nests. The traffic is very heavy on that corner, on three sides,
with no safe place to stop.

As you probably remember, Great Horned Owls nested in that same tree a
couple of years ago. Back then, someone (the city?) put up warning
signs to keep people from stopping there. I think that needs to be
done again, both for the safety of onlookers and to avoid disturbing
the owls.
