We were incredibly lucky to find this normally very secretive owl out in the open and only 5 minutes away from a skittish Great Grey Owl hunting on the same stretch of road. It was nearly dark hence ISO 4000 and 1/20th of a second.
Another look at this cute little one.

An uncommon Chickadee found mostly in Canada, Alaska and northern parts of a few northern US states.
A bright spot in a fairly slow wildlife day in the field for me yesterday was finding a couple of these. Most of our winter owls have migrated out of southern MB and few raptors and other species have migrated in. Northern Harriers and Bald Eagles were the most prevalent of the raptor in-migrators where I was.
The Boreal Chickadee breeds in all Canadian Provinces and Territories as well as Alaska, Washington and the very north of some eastern US states. In central Alberta, they are not as common as Black-capped Chickadees, but in more northern latitudes, they begin to outnumber the Black-capped Chickadees.
This image shows the chocolate-brown cap they sport as well as the cinnamon colour of the flanks. Their call is much more wheezy than the familiar call of the Black-capped Chickadee.
Click on the link below to listen to the call.
This was a most unexpected and unusual sighting in a park in Calgary, Alberta. This was a long shot as the owl was far in the forest. But I was very happy to see it as it is a lifer for me.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Accompanied my son to the Houston Zoo on a sunny Saturday, chockablock with parents with children of all ages learning something important about the diversity of life. That's an important mission for a zoo; preserving species in the midst of the sixth (anthropomorphic) extinction is another. I took my camera. Looking at my photos later I resolved not to photograph captive animals. But the expression on this gorilla's face, which summed up my predicament (and his or her predicament), had to be posted. What's the right thing to do?
… Look into Jimmy’s eyes and ask yourself whether he – or any ape for that matter – belongs to a zoo, even as well intentioned and caring an institution as ZSL London Zoo.
I try to convince myself that the facts he was born in captivity and Northern white cheek gibbons are almost wiped out in the wild matter… then I take another look at his face…
Sometimes i can easily get bored,so i don't have to stop my self
and..... go,go,go,go!

Took today off from work (out late last night at a choir concert), and went over to Commonwealth Lake this morning. I heard active chickadees in the trees on the north end of the park. Didn't get any shots of them (pretty dark there, and they move fast), then spotted a large dark mass in one of the trees. Turns out it as the elusive barred owl I'd heard of others having seen. Got a series of it as it posed for me. Eventually it got bored with me, so I moved on. By the way, this is a lifer for me!
Sometimes, I just sit around bored. I think we all can do that. Oddly my boredom struck a thought in me for this picture. Black Dragon is still very nice for pics. Just saying.
This is not the shot I thought I was taking. My camera decided to go to f/13 without me noticing.
The flash saved it for me.
This little one came in just after I spread the seeds on my deck rail. I hope it hangs around over the winter now that it has discovered a food source.

Bears also have those days when they do crazy things out of boredom. So is Benny.
BENNY:
What wrinkles that woman has!
Something has to be done about that.
Let's see.....how do we get it right again.
Smear with butter? It's about the same color.
Or..... putty
Or... Yes...I know!
Mummy Marian also has wrinkles and she uses that cream from tubes. That is it!!!!!
Now I have to find another tube like that.
Maybe Jago can help me.
ME:
Benny! Benny...Where are you?
BENNY:
Here....at Miss Buddha
ME
What are you doing on the Buddha statue Benny?
BENNY:
Well....eh...I'm dusting it off.
ME:
OK than it is allright
Thank you Benny for your help
BENNY:
You're welcome Mummy Marian
