Rolled leaf margins and hair on top of the leaf suggests linear-leaf willowherb, though nodding flower buds suggest marsh willowherb. Not 100% certain here.

Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus)Observer
marykriegerDescription
the trail cam video begins with the rabbit feeding on the spilled seed underneath the bird feeders. Next an owl flies into view from beyond the large hanging feeder crossing to the lower left hand corner into the leafless twigs and disappearing. A crashing sound is heard. At the same time, the rabbit dashes away to the right and is not seen again. The owl shuffles back into view in the lower left corner. Bill snaps can be heard faintly. it looks around and up at the camera. After a few moments it flies back through the trees in the direction from which it first came.
