Thats a beautiful picture Bob.

That owl looks huge in perspective!

I got lucky, he was right off the back deck. It's a huge grey owl, and his mate was down the mountain hooting back. What a treat listening to them!

Man that is some big a** owl, I have an American Bald Eagle that hangs out in my big willow you see in my pics by the lake. The pair nest a bit up from me but hunt from my tree, huge wing span.

Fantastic photo, but I'm pretty sure that's a cat. The rare North Americasian Spotted Tree Cat, to be precise.

[Nanuq]

Yeah he's a big one alright.  His mate is nearly as big and they sit out there in the dusk and talk to each other up and down the mountain.  Hoot hoot!

 

They were tough on the snowshoe hare population this winter... we had a huge warmup around January and it got down to bare ground on the mountain, then it got nasty cold again but stayed bare.  The snowshoe hares were pure white, running around on the dark ground like little "free buffet" signs.  We had a lot of well fed eagles and owls!
