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".

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 grin

I'm just happy to hear any of them calling , so I can log their sounds and listen for them at any time cool

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.

Trapping 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.

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.

Was squirrel hunting with my 7 year old daughter, and we had a screech owl perch above us right as daylight ended. He began to vocalize. Hannah’s eyes got really big, whispers what is that daddy?! Was a neat experience, just last week. Such a unique but eery sound!

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.

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.

Many people do not like birds of prey .I think they are a fabulous part of nature . I always love hearing the Great Horned Owls talking to each other while sitting in my deer stand waiting for first light during deer season .

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.

Bandy, every time I see that poem, I hear it in my mind exactly in Kathrine Hepburn's voice, as she spoke this to Rooster Cogburn, in the movie. I liked that . Nice owl, too.

This is the owl I most often see. Not because it is the most numerous, rather it is the most conspicuous. I saw one stoop like a falcon and smack a Raven hard. Saw another knock down a ptarmigan.

Halk owls and Great Grey Owls because of their day time hunting are most likely seen by people.

I was hunting spruce chickens one November day. I had just popped one out of a tree and as it fell a northern goshawk swooped in and grabbed it. He flew about 50 yards and landed in the tundra where he started to tear into it. I rushed at him and he flew off without my grouse. I was pretty impressed with his catch before it hit the ground
