On my 5th trip to an area about an hour outside of Ottawa I finally spotted him and spent about 5 hours following him around an area covering about 3 square miles. Standing in the middle of an open field with the wind howling in your face and temperatures hovering around -10 with windchill of -20 was well worth it. Taken in Ste-Rose, Ontario....hope you all like    the key to a great picture is..."more cowbell!"

Oldjackssparrows Jeeeez, incredible comments!  More info | Feb 16, 2010 11:54 | #4 Great set Jim, #1 is really nice, the snow adds to it. looks like it was really coming down. I have to take my hat off to you for standing outside in that cold for 5 hours, but it sure was worth it. #3 is very surreal looking as Chris said, another great shot, hard to get in such a heavy snow, congrats Donate to Pekka, help pay our server costs...
