My wife is am amateur photographer..... she has been doingds owls in WInter..... the Snowy Owl amd the Grey Grey.....but they come on a cycle..... this years was the SNowy Owl....last year none could be found but Great Great were plentiful. she usually photogra[h them at day break in waist deep snow and -30 C.

This one she called Bart was a chance encounter in our back yard...... she calls him and he comes repeatedly to pick up his live mice..... 3 or 4 at a sitting. He literaly comes within a few inches of Joyce.

On some encounters with Great Grey she has actually petted the bird while he was stationary in from of her.

We are hoping that he will stay for the summer.... he is a a young yearling and may not have mated yet.

I have my CMPs and Joyce has her camera equipment and the Owls.

Cheers
