Is this guy bored, interested or posing?
This is the worse enemy of my beloved birds (just after the humans) but it is a beautful animal. I was astounded when this vixen passed me at such a close distance I couldn't take a decent shot of her whole beautiful body. Clever as she was, she knew I was harmless and rather boring.
The one on the right is a Boreal Chickadee that I have seen it for the first time (Life Bird# 451). The one on the left is a friendly Black-capped Chickadee that is abundant in our area. Because of large color variation the Boreal Chickadee was very easy to pick up from a large group of Black-capped Chickadee that it was hanging out with. Note how the white patch on its cheek is so much smaller than the Black-capped. Darlington Provincial Park, Durham, Ontario

I've been looking for Boreal Owls the last few nights with no luck. Looks like I'll need to be happy with the one I was told about a few weeks ago.
I swoop around your head
But I never hit
I'm blinded by your daylight.
Don't look into your eyes cause I'm desperately in love
In love
When you walk in the room everything disappears
When you walk in the room it's a terrible mess
When you walk in the room I start to melt
When you walk in the room I follow you round
Like a dog, I'm a dog, I'm a dog, I'm a lapdog
I'm your lapdog, yeah.
i wish you couldnt figure me out.
If i'm going to be honest, i'm hiding alot, so much that none of you will never know.
I'm madly in love with charcoal cheeks and sparkles! One of the most highly sought after owls in North America and it can be an elusive one to see well in Oregon and Washington! This beautiful, BOREAL OWL was one of the thrills of this weekend for us and was extremely cooperative! I worked hard for this baby and it paid off!~
Ya know, I think we all dream of that once-in-a-lifetime photo. Some come close, but never quite do it. Well, today, I was out hiking in the forest. It was a very cold November day at minus twenty-two degrees Celsius, but the sun was shining and the forest was absolutely gorgeous.
I was hanging about looking for compositions when this bird flew silently over me. I'm sure it was just a foot, or two above my head. I wondered what it was--too big for most birds I could think of, but too small for others. Anyway, I lost in it the forest, but I noted the direction it had flown so I slowly and quietly walked towards where I thought it had gone. Looking carefully, I noticed a small form in one of the trees. It was facing away from me, which allowed me to get even closer. Then I began shooting with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 Pro. It's not a super long lens, but it's very reliable, and very sharp. As I was shooting, the little bird looked around and I realised it was a small owl--in this case, a Boreal Owl, which is a fairly rare sighting in the southern Yukon. For me, this was the perfect shot, and I nailed it! With the snow still on the trees, and the forest completely quiet except for my own breathing, it was a awesome moment! Here is the photo I managed to capture. It is uncropped.

- Get off the computer and do something interesting!
㋡ And have a great weekend!

Explored Sep 1st
The Northern Hawk Owl can detect prey by sight at a distance of up to 800 meters (half a mile).
Though it is thought to detect prey primarily by sight, it can find and seize prey under 30 cm (1 foot) of snow.
Recently returned from a trip to northern MN. It was my 3rd trip to the Sax Zim Bog area. Each of the three trips over the last 7 years has had a distinctly different flavor. This species was irrupting along the northern shore of Lake Superior just north of Duluth. Normally it forages at night but they were active and foraging in the day. We were fortunate to find at least two of these. This was a lifer.
