Successful hunting
On the fence

Ever watchful
Poor quality, but of interest

Great Gray Owl - breathtaking
A close landing
Surveying its territory
Perched on a broken tree trunk
Got my eyes on you
One of a pair
A quick glance

Natural beauty

Well camouflaged, except for those eyes

Burrowing Owl, after the storm
Hiding in the grasses
Pure joy
They always look so serious
How to start the day well
The stern look
One of yesterday's highlights
A flopped bundle of feathers
Mother of six
Cradled
At home in the nesting box
Changing positions
Glorious light
Snowy Owl
Before "winter" returned
Cheer up!
I spy with my little eye
White, blues and browns of winter
Worthy of another look
Looks can be deceptive
Great Gray Owl in the early morning light
Phantom of the North
Before the plunge
One of 12 - and a wooden pole for a change : )
Yesterday's treat : )
With a wink and a smile
A reward for facing my fears : )
Avian perfection
Licorice Allsorts eyes
Oh, those eyes
Those early days
Focus - is the name of the game
Phantom of the North

Wow, I have to just add the following late this afternoon, as I am so impressed. Just a few hours ago, I posted a new thread in the Help Forum. I really prefer not to post there, but just had to after I happened to come across a website today that was displaying a lot of my photos for FREE downloading and in all sizes. My images are ALL copyright protected. Apparently, they were ALSO displaying download links for all available display sizes for people's photos that on Flickr are NOT set to be downloadable by visitors. Later today, Flickr staff member bhautik joshi PRO answered, saying: "What they are doing is not even remotely OK. We're looking into it." Almost immediately, all we could see on their website were blank, white pages. Amazingly fast action by a staff member, which is hugely appreciated!

Position one of these Great Gray Owls right in front of a tree trunk and you will discover how amazing the camouflage is. On 2 April 2016, I stood so that the owl was framed by these two trees. It was along the edge of the forest, quite a distance away, and out of the sun - the colour of the feathers tends to look different when in the shade (a much darker brown) and of course, I get a rather grainy photo. Roughly a month ago, I posted a photo of a different pose taken in the same few minutes.
"Although the Great Gray Owl is the tallest American owl with the largest wingspan, it is just a ball of feathers. It preys on small mammals and has relatively small feet. Both the Great Horned and Snowy Owls weigh half again as much, and have larger feet and talons. The oldest recorded Great Gray Owl was at least 18 years, 9 months old and lived in Alberta." From AllABoutBirds.

It had been a week since I had last seen one of these owls, so I decided to drive there on 2 April morning and see if one could be seen. When I arrived, three people had already found one - apparently, it had been sitting on a fence post moments before, but flew off into the far line of trees just as I was slowly arriving. Much as I am delighted to see an owl anywhere, along the edge of the trees is my least favourite place, as the owl is then in the shade.
After a while, I decided to drive further along the road to see if there were any other owls to be seen, and when I returned, the handful of people were photographing one sitting on a fence post. I just managed to get three or four rather useless shots before it flew off to the forest.
