The Great Gray Owl has made the Manitoba Most Wanted Owl List.
Last week and my first dedicated search of the Great Grays…after a 10hr day I returned home with NO rewards.
Other than enjoying the sunshine and the countryside…plus a visit with Domo Dave.
Dave runs a small gas bar/store/cafe in a little hamlet in prime Gray country…a very interesting fellow who loves to chat.
Like I’ve stated recently…it may be one of those years with few or no sightings. But I haven’t given up hope as there is still plenty of winter left.
Cheers !

The saying goes…”You’ll Never Forget the First One”.

Strange how the mind works…I have problems remembering names, dates and where I need to be so that’s why they invented the calendar to write things down.

But when it comes to owls/birds I have no problems remembering…I can still remember the exact location on Maple Creek Road on Jan 11th 2009 and my First Encounter with a Great Gray.

From that point on I was hooked and have now photographed many over the years.

So it’s true…”You Never Forget Your First”.
