I came home from a morning combination trip of hiking with the dogs, looking at
several Great Gray Owls, and just enjoying the morning yesterday, when a Great
Gray Owl flew to a snag right outside my back window, maybe 25 feet from the
house. (I live not too far from Hawk Ridge). I couldn't believe it. The short
story is that i watched him for a little over an hour (burning my lunch that i
had started in the process). Just before he left, he coughed up a pellet
(which i later retrieved). It was just amazing to watch him. I think "casual
elegance" sums up this bird. To anthropomorphize for a second, it seemed that
everything he did, he did in a slow, confident manner. Kind of like the way
some real big animals move when they know they are "top dog". The birds at the
feeders, which were 20-25 feet away, did not seem perturbed in the least by his
presence and continued to feed.
