Oh man … what a morning north of Duluth. I lost track of the number of Great Gray Owls I found out hunting. The wind was dead calm, and the light was fantastic. At one point, I could see three different great gray owls hunting at the same time!
Here is a sequence of eight photographs I took of one owl after it had just successfully dispatched a vole. Enjoy! (click/press upon any image to view at higher resolution)

Is the Old Vermilion Trail available for classic skiing this year? Is the bird feeding station still maintained? Love your photos!
I have been fill8ng the feeders about once per week. Nothing unusual at the feeders, but a decent number of owls have been seen in the area (GGO’s). I have not set the ski tracks recently because the Lester / Amity Nordic Ski Trials which are only 200 yards from my house are in such excellent shape.
Outstanding series of photos, Rich!
What owls are prevalent in Florida.
Paul replied to your same question of a different post. The answer is: Eastern Screech Owls, Burrowing Owls, Great Horned Owls, Barn Owls, Barred Owls, Short-eared Owls, Long Eared Owls….
I have been swooning over your snowy owl pictures. I love owls.
I was traveling west on highway 20 in Iowa. Two crows were swooping down on something. As I traveled by, a snowy owl was sitting on a fence post just biding its time and watching the crows. I was so excited to see a snowy owl and especially this far south. I was two miles west of the Parkersburg/Grundy Center exit on 20.
I love to follow your adventures on the North Shore. We visit twice every summer.
