I haven't seen a Great Gray Owl since January 2014. I was very happy to find this cooperative individual.
Great Gray Owl, Ada County, Idaho
"The Great Gray Owl is a dapper owl dressed in a gray suit with a bow tie across its neck and a surprised look on its face. In the stillness of a cold mountain meadow the elusive giant quietly floats on broad wings across meadows and openings in evergreen forests. They are mostly owls of the boreal forest with small populations in western mountains, but in some years they move farther south in search of food, giving some a unique opportunity to see this majestic owl."
Watching Great Gray Owls in the waning minutes of daylight can be very fun in my experience because they sometimes become hyperactive and seemingly less inhibited, and thus are especially exciting then.
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!
This gray squirrel looks sweet and innocent, but he's actually plotting an attack on the bird feeder. Backyard wildlife.

Skillful imitator, the Gray Catbird prefers undergrowth. From time to time, he will offer his performance well short.
