Taken in the BC interior in May 2017.
I have always found that watching Great Gray Owls is a magical experience. They are so grand and elegant! I found it incredible observing and photographing this bird recently in the interior of British Columbia as it hunted for rodents at the forest edge. This is definitely one of my favorite owl species!

I’m often undecided on whether a scene will look better with direct light, or later with supposedly better atmospheric color. This particular scene loses sun 2 hours before sunset this time of year, so I snapped this just before the sun dipped below a nearby ridge. I wish it was closer to golden hour, but I’m happy with the definition the direct light puts on the various contours of the landscape. I wasn’t confident in the sunset colors happening, which turned out to be a good hunch. I guess I’ll go back and try some other time. . .
The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) is a tiny, long-tailed songbird native to North America, known for its energetic behavior and high-pitched, nasal calls. This species inhabits deciduous woodlands, forest edges, shrublands, and riparian areas, often near water. It is the northernmost and only truly migratory member of its genus, breeding across much of the United States and southern Canada and wintering from the southern U.S. to Central America and the Caribbean.

This is still a relatively new bird for me, and I love seeing them. On the overcast, foggy and damp winter day we spent at Algonquin the Jays were mostly very tricky to photograph. They spent most of their time in dense tree cover, and their shading - from white to slate black - made every kind of light an adventure. This bird was in enough light to be worth a try, with the dense Spruce habitat providing enough atmosphere.
