Finally, I got a shot of a Great Grey–the tallest owl in the world! I’ve been trying to capture one since I moved up here, almost 3 years ago. Oh, I’ve caught glimpses of him from time to time, but he blends into the grey of the trees so well, he’s practically invisible. Isn’t he a beauty!
with his fancy grey coat and bow tie,
you’d think he’s a good-natured guy;
but look at those cold eyes of gold
and the way he looks into your soul
–Photo by me (finally!)
terrific shot, Michael: yes, you wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark alley 🙂

There’s definitely a sinister air about him. Like Poe’s raven.

Such a handsome noble bird and those soul piercing eyes! This photo is a wonderful capture of nature and a study in the colors of brown. You must find a noble name for him!

Wonderful photo capture and the poem fits him perfectly. He’s a predator by nature of course but I see no evil in those eyes and only feel respect. He doesn’t shop for food in the meat department of grocery stores. 😁
