Always happy to see an owl, no matter which one. It was the second time I had seen a Great Gray Owl this year. It was in the morning, and I was out birding and taking pictures before starting work. On my way back there was a small black bear next to the trail. Knowing the area, I decided to go around it by going through the trees. And to my surprise, I came across this owl on the edge of the forest. He seemed to be just as curious about me as I was of him. It kept moving its head side to side and kept getting closer, until it was perched about two meters above my head. I looked upon him and hoped he was not about to show me what it had consumed recently. It did not. I moved away from the tree he was perched on to get the pictures I wanted.
