Hawkdancer:
Neat!  I missed the shrike by one sub species!  Found a better picture last week!  Haven't seen either of those owl species that I remember!

Marc St Louis:
Our friend was back hunting this morning.



Had to go out this morning but before we went out I decided to "chum" the snow to help him with his hunting.  When we got back several hours later he was still there but a bit further up the tree, don't know whether he got anything in the meantime.

JW_Halverson:
The black eyes cinched it. That's a barred owl. Great grey's eyes are yellow.

Handsome devil, this one!

DC:
Their call goes like"Who, who, who cooks for you."   ;D ;D ;D We hear them quite often here. I believe they are the most common species here but owls are so secretive it's hard to say.

Hawkdancer:
Used to hear them a lot 30 - 40 years age, could even I'd them by the hoot!  Then my hearing really went south!!  Did have what we thought was a snowy owl watch us set up camp one year, but it may have been a barred or great grey.  Quite an experience!  Hope the new ear lets me hear them again!
