It's been a busy past week. First I was out in the woods, when I saw a large bird sitting on a lower limb. It was hunched over looking at something on the ground with it's back towards me. When I lifted my camera,the whir of the autofocus caused it to turn and look directly at me. I couldn't believe my eyes, staring back was a Great Gray Owl. They don't live here. At least they aren't supposed to, but here was one. Those yellow eyes, and that face, it was incredible.
So I spent a lot of time trying to see it again. I haven't and in a way, I'm happy with that. Sometimes you just need to know they are around.
I have been running into a lot of moose too. Today, I came across a cow and twins.

Kirk,
that must have been quite a moment..eye to eye with that owl! I 'hear' them more often than seeing but 'knowing they are around' IS a great feeling ;)

Quite a fauna you have up there!
Lynn- I've had a few run-in's with owls, it's a treat and honor to see them. The Great Gray was a "lifer" for me.
Ted- It gets nuts up here.
