Northern Owls

This past week was the Snowy Owl Working Groups Conference in Saskatoon and a number of top reasearchers from around the world attended. I had the priviledge of taking Norman Smith and Vin Zallo of Boston Mass up to the Boreal Forest and banded a number of owls. Here are some of the highlights.

After a month of non birding Michelle and I decided to head north for the day. We wanted to see if we could get some photos of GGOW's or anything else for that matter. We were lucky enough to come across a few GGOW's and NHOW's. Here's some pics from today.
