A near-endemic and uncommon lark of the Namib desert.
We saw it once and only for a few seconds, on the road to Spitzkoppe.

We went to northern Minnesota to see many different birds, but mostly to see a great gray owl.
On our second morning (-29 degrees Fahrenheit) we saw one sitting in a tree. We tried to keep a good distance so it wouldn't fly away.
I got out of the car* and started taking some pictures. After a couple minutes, the owl flew right toward us and landed in the snow about 20 yards away.
*When it's REALLY COLD out... I've found that taking pictures from a car just doesn't work too well. The heat-waves from inside the car, and radiating from the engine, distort the image and cause focus issues. -29 was quite an experience.
fog in November!

Yeah, a catbird. Got to be one of the most annoying birds out there, but, I couldn't pass up this perch and background.

The blue-gray tanager (thraupis episcopus) is a medium-sized South American songbird of the tanager family, Thraupidae. Its range is from Mexico south to northeast Bolivia and northern Brazil, all of the Amazon Basin, except the very south. The breeding habitat is open woodland, cultivated areas and gardens. The blue-gray tanager lives mainly on fruit, but will also take some nectar, insects and other arthropods.

We found several of these very curious, friendly birds up jeep trails many miles from anyplace where they would regularly come into contact with people. On several occasions, they literally flew from trees where they were perched directly toward us, stopping and landing just feet away or hovering over our heads. This one was one of two who spent almost two hours posing for us!
Great Gray Owl, Ada County, Idaho
"The Great Gray Owl is a dapper owl dressed in a gray suit with a bow tie across its neck and a surprised look on its face. In the stillness of a cold mountain meadow the elusive giant quietly floats on broad wings across meadows and openings in evergreen forests. They are mostly owls of the boreal forest with small populations in western mountains, but in some years they move farther south in search of food, giving some a unique opportunity to see this majestic owl."
This great gray owl flew sudden in our direction so the wing tips got cropped. It was amazing to see if its wings were fully spanned.

I watched this cooperative fella go through a series of preening poses. I liked how he paused momentarily holding one of the feathers in his beak.

Wild Gray Fox fairly tame for a wild animal, hung around for three years and had three litters in as much time, disappeared a few years ago, kind of miss seeing her, found in North Carolina.
This Great Gray Owl was well hidden among the needles and cones of a Lodgepole Pine at the edge of forest as it scanned for rodents under snow in an adjacent open field. Despite the white stuff being about 30 cm (approx. one foot) deep, the owl was able to detect prey moving on the ground underneath thanks to excellent hearing enabled in part by the shape of the facial disk. And this was from up to some 100 metres (about 100 yards) away, and 10 metres (33 feet) up. The strikes on rodents such as voles were not always successful, but I did witness at least two made with pinpoint accuracy. These scenes unfolded northwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
This is an unposted pic from the archives that was set aside for processing and only rediscovered recently. One does not get shots of Great Grays in such bright light with any regularity.
Gray evening, Finland.
The day was gray and it was already getting dark. I was just testing some filters and stuff and not expecting anything special.
Then suddenly there was a small opening between the clouds. Quickly I searched for a spot where I could include some rocks in the composition. Soon the Sun set and colors were gone completely.
I was happy to capture something different instead of the usual colorful sunsets. Sometimes less is more, right?
