Sharon - You mentioned the different shades of great horned owls throughout their wide range. Even individuals can vary quite a bit from the same location, even within the same clutch. I picked up and photographed these two GHOs last winter near my house that were fresh roadkills. There's quite a difference between the two. You are right, Jack. Just as siblings of other animals and even people, colour variations of them can be different. I am a student in constant learning I'm just happy to hear any of them calling , so I can log their sounds and listen for them at any time

Here is a vid of Yupik eskimo dancing. The boys/men dance fans are usually made of snowy owl feathers. Womens fans are caribou hair. https://youtu.be/beU485BxqxsTrapping marten on the ground in my early years resulted in owl catches. Greys, Hawks, maybe pygmies? Made curried grey owl and rice once. Wouldn't recommend it.

I copied this off the cover of the FHA Magazine a while back,thought it was a neat pic. Notice where the owl impaled the marten. Like a wolf crushing the windpipe.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Owl won't get bit holding it like that.

I came out one morning and this little owl was sitting on my shovel handle. later that day it stormed bad, and I was outside and noticed two ravens were hovering above him and had him pinned down on the ground at the door of my chicken coop. I went over and scared them away and he looked up at me and took off in the 50 mph winds and was gone.

Wonderful shots, Jack, as always. My favourite owls are the Great Grey and the Pygmy, opposite ends of the size range ! I wish I had more work of them, but so far, this is the one Trapper's Post had me do a while back. I've heard those Great Horned will even go after skunks ! In studying up on them before I did this image, I learned the colour patterns, especially in the face, vary from east to western parts of the range they occupy. Some are more gray, and others bright beautiful chestnut browns. WOW!! BEAUTIFUL !!!

Have always loved watching Snowy Owls. Some winters, not many and others they are very common. They can really devastate the Hungarian Partridge population though.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

I was head up to the lake property earlier this week and I pull over to the side of the road to get rid the burden I was carrying from drinking too much coffee that morning, I looked up and thought: "That might make a good picture". Amazing life you lead Beautiful picture Mark

A wise old owl set on a oak The more he heard the less he spoke The less he spoke the more he heard Now wasn't that a wise old bird.
No matter where you go there you are.
