Close encounter of the owl kind
Yesterday, 17 February 2014, was my lucky day for seeing this beautiful Great Gray Owl. Though I have seen many before, the special thing about this particular owl is that it was seen in Fish Creek Park, in the city. I believe a Great Gray Owl has only ever been seen in this local park on two occasions over the years, so this was a really special treat. Normally, we never even get this species of owl within the city at all, but 2014 has been different, with the sighting of this individual plus another Great Gray Owl seen at Griffith Woods, which I was also lucky enough to see and photograph. They are such amazing owls to watch, especially when they are hunting. Their focus and concentration is superb and we got to see this yesterday when we were there. Other than an occasional glance in our direction, the owl completely ignored us - you see this with GHOs everywhere, as they are quite tolerant, for the most part, of people. This owl was high in a tree, though it looks like it was very close and more or less at eye level.
Today is THE day, when I have to take my computer to a store to have all the data transferred to a new machine that I bought a couple of months ago. See you in something like three days, when hopefully I will have figured out how to set everything up, once I get it back home.
