Beginning to see and hear reports of more Winter Owl activity…Great Gray Owl to be more specific. Last year they seemed to be impossible to find but with recent sightings this early things are looking promising at this point.

Now I’ll just need to juggle my calendar to coincide with favorable weather conditions.

The endless search for Great Grays has been a disappointment this year. Now that we are nearing the middle of March the owls will soon setting up territories and then the matting process.

After many miles and hours logged coming home with no rewards has become frustrating…the same goes for other photographer friends.

It is what it is and Mother Nature isn’t always cooperative…there will be next year.

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 !
