Back to one of my Fall Eagle Voyages and my sit-n-wait approach. As stated previously there had been great numbers of Eagles collecting before migration. So many that attempting to count them became impossible…perhaps next October I’ll need to take an assistant just to count birds.
Until then and when I get bored I browse the Eagles 2020 folders and relive all the excitement.
Nothing is more relaxing for me than traveling back roads in the Boreal Forest on the search for the Ghost of the Forest. Spotting of a Great Gray Owl brings on a Nature Rush as you watch it slowly turn its head and gives you that look that stops you dead in your tracks with its Big Yellow Eyes.
Great Grays are a favorite winter owl to search out and photograph by many as they are very human tolerant for the most part. Being the largest of our Winter Owls and can be upwards of 27 in. and is Manitoba’s Official Bird.
Well there I sat in the truck using it as a blind rather than to get out…watching her (by size) and her watching me.
There was a quote I heard years ago that went along the lines like….Nature is Like a Book…if You Don’t Explore you Read Only but One Page.
Everyone knows that you should do some warm ups before getting down to any strenuous exercising. Appears warm ups are also done by Snowy Owls…as this one starts out with some Jumping Jacks.
