Tawny Owl, juvenile. One has to wonder their self destructive modus operandi, sitting still in the open daylight just like waiting for the Goshawk to attack. They sometimes do.

It was fun watching these 3 Chicks moving around in the woods and bathing in the stream.

This is my third encounter with this Barred Owl this week. It was perched on a limb about eight feet high on a tree that could be touched as one walked the trail.

I finally got a reasonable shot of a Great Gray Owl this winter. Glenn Parker and I spent the day driving south west of Edmonton in a hopeful search. We were heading back to the city via a route neither of us had traveled before, and we found this one. We had to struggle through about 100 meters of knee deep snow and over a fence to get close. This owl let us get close and never did fly from its high perch. It was a very gray and snowy day and the light source was behind the owl, so this is quite high key.

After a co-worker mentioned seeing an owl "often" I had to go investigate. This lovely Barred owl lives in a very suburban neighborhood park. Just off a heavily paved path he was well camouflaged in the thicket. I suppose he is used to people walking by without being seen. However, the moment he saw I had stopped to look at him he took off. I watched him from a distance and he settled back down. A passing Accipter flew into the tree and started to harass him...and off he went again. If I go to visit him again I will be very careful to pretend not to see him. I imagine hundreds of people a day walk by him and they never know he is there :)
