Great Gray Owl

Great Gray Owl, Grand Teton National Park

A great gray owl roosts in Grand Teton National Park.

This great gray owl was a frequent visitor to the Moose-Wilson Road area when I was there in the spring of 2015.  It was very popular with photographers.  It was popular with scientists too.  That resulted in multiple leg bands and a radio with antenna.  Most of the time the bands and antenna were not noticeable, however, unlike the collars on wolves and grizzlies in Yellowstone.

Red-winged Blackbird

Wire Is As Good as a Branch for a Blackbird

I like and enjoy seeing all wild birds.  Okay, I’ll admit that I like some more than others.   Take today’s photo for example.  It’s not a bald eagle.  It’s not a peregrine falcon.  It’s not a great gray owl.  It’s a red-winged blackbird.  Still, I was happy to have the opportunity it gave me to photograph it and to try to create an attractive image.
