Our parkade was scheduled for cleaning so I had to be out early. I decided to head just West of the city to see what I could. I did see a few bluebirds but was delighted when a Great Gray Owl perched itself beside the highway!
Thanks for your visits!
Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa) hunting for mice and voles in the mixed woods north of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. There was large flakes of snow fall resulting in low light conditions and blotchy white flakes on the bird.

Mrs. Circled Thrice and I hosted a flock of these guys at our picnic table by the lake. They weren't invited, but they were entertaining guests nonetheless.
From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"The deceptively cute Gray Jay is one of the most intrepid birds in North America, living in northern forests year-round and rearing chicks in the dark of winter. Highly curious and always on the lookout for food, Gray Jays eat just about anything, from berries to small animals. They may even land on your hand to grab a raisin or peanut. During summer they hoard food in trees to sustain themselves through bleak winters."

Originally this photo was uploaded in orange color. I decided to change it to grey so I can add it to my "Gray" portfolio I'm working on.
Experimenting with temperature and white balance on my new Hasselblad 907x on a 503 body. The approach is somewhat daring, but it somehow feels right to follow the "call" and see where it takes me.
The name, Gray Partridge, is synonymous to "Hungarian Partridge" in some parts of the Western States. I can remember many Fall days hunting them in the rugged Idaho landscapes boarding "Hells Canyon" and other steep terrains boarding rivers. They feed on many different types of seeds and thrive in conditions fit for the hardy...
This owl hunted a small meadow for nearly 4 hours and seemed not to be bothered by us being there. After an hour of handholding my camera my arms and shoulders started to hurt but didn't want to take the chance of missing out on anything. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and went back to the car to grab the tripod. I'm glad I did because the real show started later on.
This great gray owl had just plunged into the meadow after a vole but came up empty on this attempt.
Not as cute as our little red squirrels, but sometimes these guys are kinda cute...
All comments are appreciated. TIA.
Gray Catbird perched with colorful flowers at the Shakespeare Garden in Central Park, NYC.
Medium sized, slender songbird with a long, rounded, black tail and a narrow, straight bill. Catbirds are fairly long legged and have broad, rounded wings.
Catbirds give the impression of being entirely slaty gray, but with a closer look, you'll see a small black cap, blackish tail, and a rich rufous-brown patch under the tail.
Catbirds are secretive but energetic, hopping and fluttering from branch to branch though tangles of vegetation. Singing males sit atop shrubs and small trees. Catbirds are reluctant to fly across open areas, preferring quick, low flights over vegetation.

A great gray owl, devoted father of five owlets, flying in with a freshly hunted gopher in its beak. Photographed in the wild, the owl had just completed a successful hunt and was on its way to feed one of its young. No baiting or similar unethical practices were involved capturing this photo.
