Jen Howard and I went out for a weekend of birding. We saw many amazing sights but the thrill of the great gray was the best.
A few sample shots.

| Look at the feather detail on back of head. You should be able to see the feather shafts |
 |
| Snow Snow - more more snow |
 |
| The Karate Kid. Check out the talons on second foot. Did you know they have yellow pads on the bottom of their feet. |

| A wonderful weekend spoiled only by the baiters who decided they wanted shots much closer. Using live mouse they threw them in the field to lure the owl forward. Yesterday it got quite nasty and we left as I did not want to take photos of owls being baited. Today Jen and I agreed we wanted to watch owl and we stood firm till baiters left and then got some amazing shots. One foolish man with dozens of happy birders and photograhers watching this wonderful bird. |
