Been a while and for a few weeks now I have been busy photographing Great Grey Owls who have come into our area from the Northern forests. They are looking for voles and finding them. :cool:

Here is a taste of what I am experiencing ...with what just might be my favourite bird

Really nice! You've got some pretty long lenses in your lineup and you are definitely putting them to good use.
