Great Gray Owls, Bois de L'Ile Bizard, Montreal, Canada, February 2005.




















It was wonderful to watch them hunting, though this one missed its quarry. Another bird we saw was succesful,
and swallowed its prey (appeared to be a large vole) whole on the spot.




Susannah gets her fifth Great Gray Owl of the day!



As the light begins to fade, this Great Gray Owl overlooking his/her 'patch' provides a fine and fitting end to the day,
a day which included six individual owls in just one small area of parkland. Absolutely amazing...........
