It’s not uncommon for me to be on the road at 6:30 am in the Dead of Winter depending on where I’m headed in search of Owls. This means while most are still sound asleep I’m up putting equipment together at 5:00.
Then packing a lunch and snacks that will tide me over for the day…since it’s highly unlikely you would find a Tim’s on the Back Country Roads I travel.
Sipping some coffee while munching on a granola bar or even chomping on a pepperoni stick is a great way to pass the time while waiting for the action to unfold when an owl is located.
Wait times can range from a few minutes to a couple hours or even longer. There has been the occasional time where an owl had no interest in giving me the action I was hoping for.
Not the case with this owl…after an attempt for a meal the Great Gray makes its way through the scrub brush to a better vantage point to continue the endless search for food.
