Pleasant day spent out-n-about…even in the cold temps it always seems warmer when you’re surrounded by bush.
When leaving there were options and over the years I’ve found that sometimes going with that “Gut Feeling” may bring rewards.
This time things fell into place. When first spotting this Great Gray on a cut off tree stump it appeared to just have finished a meal.
Then moved on to a dead tree branch just so I could take his picture before moving once more where it spent the rest of the afternoon.
Much like a human after a meal…you just want to relax.
Great Grays lend to more tolerant of humans than Snowy Owls and tend to just hang around if left alone.
And yes my “Clicker Finger” worked just fine in the cold.
