Just having finished some Afternoon Munchies….this Gray makes her way back to her perch to continue the search for another meal.

The End is Near ?
As the days become longer the winter owls are now becoming more difficult to find. The time is now nearing the point that they will head back deeper into the forest to find a mate and nest site. March 15 is the general rule of thumb I use for locating the last of both Great Grays and Hawk Owls….some may have already moved on.
So it’s a day to day weather dependent scenario…meaning sunny days owling and crappy days back at the job jar. Hopefully with a little patience I’ll be able to find some rewards before the end of the season…time will tell ?
Hawk Owl on the Hunt
Hawk Owl doing what Hawk Owls do when actively on the hunt. Amazing to witness just how they are able to do a mid-air stall…staying in one spot by doing some rapid flapping while focused on a possible meal in the snow below.
If prey has been detected they will simply drop like a stone to the ground below…something I find fascinating to watch if you happen across and active owl.
