No sooner had I stopped it became apparent that this owl was in hunt mode…as he was doing the head-bobbing in attempts to focus on a possible meal in the field behind me.
All I needed to do was then position myself without interrupting his attention and wait for the action.
Once again returning to the secluded clearing in the bush where I had found Eagles collecting in the fall.
Sitting at the start of the bush trail and pondering different ideas on just how to approach them while watch them through the bush.
It soon became apparent that some of the Eagles were using the trail clearing as a flight path.
Then the light bulb went on…it only made sense to sit and wait rather than me go to them.
Well realizing my approach had been wrong on the previous two trips…I made a mental note on that morning for next year’s trips.
Cheers !

As you know I’ve been out and Snowy Owls have been located…as I’m always thinking of things to come my thoughts turn to Great Gray Owls.
Will the season be a good one…who knows.
Remembering back last year on a day that started out sunny and bright and then turned dark and cloudy with snow…whatever the conditions the owls are still around and one makes the best of it.
Finding this owl on a low perch while the snow began to fall was one of the rewards for the day.
