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.
