Great Gray Owlet #2


This was another of the four Great Gray Owlets that I photographed (with permission from the land owner) on June 4th and that was banded by Richard Chamberland of "The Owl Guys". I should add that only three of the four owlets were banded - the fourth couldn't be reached - so I can't be sure exactly which three were banded. On the banding evening, all the owls (and people) were pretty wet from the fog and rain, so looked very different from the previous day. Richard came down to Calgary on the evening of June 5th and I had been invited to join him and several others to watch them band a Northern Hawk Owlet, three Great Gray Owlets and two adult Great Grays. One of the adult Great Grays was banded en route, so a few of us didn't see that one. A miracle that any of my photos came out - on both days - dark within the forest and two of the owls especially were so high up (perhaps the highest I've ever seen an owl). So thankful for zoom!
