I followed this Owl along the highway from tree to tree, trying to get some good shots of it even though it was far away---had my camera zoomed out to it's full max of 15X just to get it at all so these pics aren't the clearest. It was intent on hunting and I was distracting it, so it kept flying away a short distance. What a thrill to see this beautiful bird! This one nests somewhere in the area every year, but this is the first time I've been able to get photos.

Thanks so much, Lynn! From what I read in my bird book this area is the farthest southern reaches of the Great Grey's range so it's a real privilege to see them here. The white "mustache" feathers on this one were really brilliant in the late afternoon sun. What a treat it was to see this beautiful hunter!! :-)

Okay, I surrender, Gene. But I wanna be there with my camera and get a video of you flying out to hug that baby! :D
I can't say that I blame you, Eileen! I haven't seen one in a long time so this was a real treat, especially when it stayed beside the road instead of flying away through the woods! Wish you could have been here with your camera too!

The summers are mild, usually only in the 70ºs but in recent years have been up in the 90ºs---too hot for me. I love being able to travel the world from my office chair, through all your great photos! Thanks to everyone who takes time to look at my pictures! :D free hit countersCreate your own visitor map!
