Great Grey Owl

About a month ago I saw this owl hunting the ditches of a road I travel for work. Several times. Thought it was a barred owl. After all, I was traveling at 55-60 mph. Last week, there were photographers lined up all over the road. Stopped and asked what they were looking for. A great grey owl. I thought they were full of BS until a friend called me when he saw it on Facebook. He knows owls and has traveled to get shots of these.

It's made quite the hubub around here. A long way from where it should be. They're closing the road for construction on Monday. May not get the chance again in my life time. So, I joined the masses to find it on Saturday. Glad I did. It flew down from the trees, landed on this post and watched us like we were the show. Maybe 30 feet from us. Would have liked some better conditions. Take what you can get. I'm tickled pink.

Great captures. Rare birds are always fun. Any serious birders should regularly check the Rare Bird Alert for their area.

You have the envy of a lot of photographers with your great opportunity and great shots. Maybe he flew down so he can get everyone to put his photo on Facebook so he can find a mate. Beautiful shots.
