I just finished a blog post on this Great Gray Owl that wintered near our house. An amazing bird to photograph.

Thanks Bob, and you are right about the voles....GGOW's can hear and capture them up to two feet below the surface of the snow. The snow was about a foot deep when this was taken (the whole sequence is on my blog if you are interested).

Very nice shot, captured at just the right moment. We've had very few around this winter.

Very nice shot, and an excellent blog. It was nice to see some natural feeding shots, I don't care for the setup shots where people use bait to achieve the shot. After following these owls for a winter I can tell you these owls will give you some excellent shots if you just put in the time.
