I haven't seen a Great Gray Owl since January 2014. I was very happy to find this cooperative individual.
Another alpine bird, the Gray Jay is also widespread in Canada’s forests, but its year-round range spreads into the mountains of Colorado. This jay is curious and intelligent and often hangs around mountain campgrounds looking for treats and handouts. Where there is one, there is often a small family flock. Dense pine forests are the preferred habitat for the gray jay, which is also the unofficial national bird of Canada.
From the archives, since I can't seem to get them this year. Would love to get shots of them with my 5D!

For a gray bird I find the Gray Hawk to be a pretty nice-looking creature. This one gave us a quick fly-by at Bentsen State Park last month. I was glad I already had my camera set up for a flight shot when this one appeared overhead. Since our visibility was limited, we didn’t get much time to observe what was going on but just after this photo was taken, we saw a Cooper’s Hawk in what appeared to be hot pursuit.

I had planned on Snowy Owls today but its raining and windy. Time to go thru and delete a lot of Great Gray shots from last winter/spring! Have to keep this one.

A medium-sized arboreal bushshrike that is dark gray or black above with a white eyebrow and white underparts, sometimes with a buffy breast. Prefers disturbed and forest edge habitats with large trees, where it forages deliberately in the foliage. Often in pairs, sometimes accompanying larger species of bushshrike. Gives a rising chatter with a descending whistle at the end, as well as other chatter notes and whistles. (eBird)

Sitting on the veranda, trying to eat breakfast while watching all the new birds that flitted around the property. This was the first of two to be seen. The other was in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. I'm not sure why it is called "gray-green" when it is grey and black, but bird names don't always make sense :-)
