In 2005 there was a massive influx of Great Gray Owls into the northern United States. Normally this species inhabits the boreal forests of Canada and northern United States where it feeds primarily on voles. Vole populations are cyclic and crash every so often, which forces these owls to travel south to find food.
I had heard about how tame these owls were given they inhabit remote areas and do not have much contact with people. I was thrilled to be able to get full frame images of these birds with just a 70-200mm lens. They are very charismatic and exciting to see in the field and provided me with an experience I will not forget. If you ever have the opportunity to seem them in the wild, I highly recommend it.

Nome científico: Eustoma grandiflorum.
Família: Gentianaceae.
Nomes populares: lisianto, lisianthus, genciana-do-prado.
Etimologia: Lise e Anthos – flor de análise, a destruição – provavelmente associada a alguns dos princípios venenosos existentes em outras espécies da mesma família.
Origem: Estados Unidos.
Características gerais: planta herbácea bienal, de caule ereto, pouco ramificada, de 30 a 60 cm de altura. As flores são em forma de sino, simples ou dobradas e de diversas cores simples ou mistas, que ocorrem na primavera-verão. A folhagem é ereta, pouco ramificada e as folhas são oval-lanceoladas, opostas, de coloração verde acinzentada.
Condições de cultivo: devem ser cultivadas à meia-sombra, em solo fértil e enriquecido com matéria orgânica, com regas regulares. Apesar de serem plantas bienais, devem ser cultivadas como plantas anuais, pois perdem a beleza com o tempo. Exige clima mais ameno para desenvolvimento e tolera bem a geadas.
Propagação: por sementes.
Usos: comercializada como flor envasada ou flor-de-corte. Pode ser cultivada no jardim, em maciços ou bordaduras informais.
Curiosidades: pode apresentar três cores básicas: azul, rosa e branca. Há diferenças de preferência entre os mercados consumidores: o europeu prefere o azul-escuro, enquanto o japonês e o brasileiro preferem o branco com bordas azuis. As cultivares são divididas em flores simples e dobradas, sendo que o mercado europeu e o japonês preferem as flores simples, já o americano e o brasileiro, as flores dobradas. A cultivar Echo é a mais comum no Brasil.
=============================
Scientific Name: Eustoma grandiflorum.
Family: Gentianaceae.
Popular names: lisianthus, lisianthus, gentian-the-meadow.
Etymology: Lise and Anthos - flower analysis, destruction - probably associated with some of the poisonous principle existing in other species of the same family.
Source: United States.
General Features: herbaceous biennial, erect stem, slightly branched, 30-60 cm tall. The flowers are bell-shaped, single or double and single or mixed different colors that occur in the spring-summer. The foliage is erect, little branched and the leaves are oval-lanceolate, opposite, gray-green color.
Culture conditions: they must be grown in dappled shade, in fertile soil and enriched with organic matter, with regular watering. Although they are biennial plants, must be cultivated annual plants such as beauty lost with time. Requires milder climate for the development and tolerate frost.
Propagation: by seed.
Uses: marketed as potted flower or flower cut-off. It can be grown in the garden, in solid or informal borders.
Trivia: You can have three basic colors: blue, pink and white. There are differences in preference among consumer markets: the European prefers the dark blue, while the Japanese and Brazilian prefer white with blue edges. Cultivars are divided into single and double flowers, while the European market and the Japanese prefer the simple flowers, as the U.S. and Brazil, the double flowers. The cultivar Echo is the most common in Brazil.

The gray wolf is a species of canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of North America, Eurasia, and the Horn of Africa. It is the largest member of its family, with males averaging 95-100 lbs, and females 80-85 lbs.
The gray wolf is one of the world's most well researched animals, with probably more books written about it than any other wildlife species.
The Gray Catbird mimics the songs of other birds, as well as those of tree frogs, and even mechanical sounds
學名: Ardea cinerea

蒼鷺分布在非洲、歐亞大陸、中國全境、朝鮮並日本至菲律賓及巽他群島。在西伯利亞、中國北方、日本北海道和韓國一些海外離島長年居住並繁殖後代。少數全年滯留於台灣。
蒼鷺體長90-100厘米，翼展可達175-195厘米。其上半身主要為灰色，腹部為白色。成鳥的過眼紋及冠羽黑色，飛羽、翼角及兩道胸斑黑色，頭、頸、胸及背白色，頸具黑色縱紋，余部灰色。幼鳥的頭及頸灰色較重，但無黑色。虹膜－黃色；喙－黃綠色；腳－偏黑。叫聲：深沉的喉音呱呱聲kroak及似鵝的叫聲honk。蒼鷺在淺水區覓食，主要捕食魚及青蛙，也吃哺乳動物和鳥。集體於鄰近濕地或湖的樹上築巢，亦會於蘆葦叢上築巢。
The Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea), is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in the milder south and west, but many birds retreat in winter from the ice in colder regions.
Its plumage is largely grey above, and off-white below. Adults have a white head with a broad black supercilium and slender crest, while immatures have a dull grey head. It has a powerful, pinkish-yellow bill, which is brighter in breeding adults. It has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes and spoonbills, which extend their necks. The call is a loud croaking "fraaank". It feeds in shallow water, catching fish, frogs, and insects with its long bill. Herons will also take small mammals, reptiles and occasionally warbler nestlings, plovers, young and adult snipes, takes ducklings and tern chicks and other small birds.

The Gray-cheeked Thrush is a rare migrant in both fall and spring in our area. Fall birds typically come through in late September.
My friends Greg and William found this one along a creek that flows into Switzer Lake and fortunately it stayed around long enough for me to see it. (I was nearby taking butterfly shots).
The photo is a bit noisy and soft, but I wanted to share some of the migrants I've been seeing this fall.
Update: I also saw one at Lake Shenandoah both yesterday (October 2) and again today. The only other one I've seen this year was at the JMU Arboretum during the spring migration.
