Search Continues

Hopefully soon…so far the Great Gray has eluded me after a few trips.
When you spend 4 hrs. on a round trip driving and put in a 11-12 hr day you would think one would receive some sort of reward ?

Just goes to show you that Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate.

Well the search for the Ghost of the Forest continues…with high hopes for the next trip

What has taken place with the Snowy Owls

Nature can be cruel…a recent article stated that here in Manitoba 17 Snowy Owls had been brought into a rehab suffering from starvation and other injuries…it’s possible the count could even be higher ?According to the story 15 of which had to be euthanized…I wonder how many others had not been found and given a chance ?

As in past years, there are good numbers of owls seen at the beginning of the season and then the count drops off.

They can still be found but it’s a hit-n-miss as where they will be located from day to day.

Nature will take it’s coarse and what will be will be…I’m hoping now that the ones I find are all healthy,strong and good hunters that will survive…like this all but pure white male.

Getting the Look

Getting the look just after this Snowy enjoyed a morning meal…he wasn’t willing to share and soon departed back up onto a nearby perch.

Never tire of looking down a lens and making eye contact with such a beautiful bird.
