Owling Put on Hold

With a dusting of snow, well maybe a bit more…8-10 in.and with more to come. Owling for today has been put on the back burner…to resume once the snow is cleared.
Winterpeg has been hit by a Colorado Low that has closed many highways throughout Manitoba…with the wind picking up it’s a good day to stay in town.

This is what we woke up to this morning…and to think the deck and table had been clear of snow last night.

Surprise, Surprise…it’s another owl.
Northern Hawk Owl takes to flight headed for a better vantage point on it’s search for a meal.

The Winter Owl season is beginning to draw to a close but I’ll still be out-n-about when ever possible to get the “Last Kick at the Cat” (Owls)

Cheers !

Big Surprise Along the Road

Just like a Kid in a Candy Shop…I’m still reliving the time that was spent with the First Gray Owl of the season less than a week ago. Then just before noon things got even better…it was like Christmas all over.
A “1st” for me as I refuse to use the word (Lifer)…there roosting in a grove of Scotch Pines looking at me with coal black eyes was a Barred Owl.

It seemed like I had just won the lottery.
