This photo was taken last winter. These beautiful great gray owls come from the northern boreal forests every 4-5 years in search of food. They usually stay all winter long. That 4-5 year weight is torture I tell you :) I found more that I had hoped for this time around. I love watching these majestic LARGE owls fly and land on a tree, seeing them use their wings to balance with their talons wrapped around a tiny branch that you wouldn't think could possibly hold their body weight, but it always does.

Congratulations Heather on your feature. Love, love this background repeated in the colors of the owl. Those amber eyes surround by a circle of feathers is magnificent. F/L
