There are two interesting items about this Great Gray Owl which I watched hunt yesterday right at sunset up in Sax-Zim Bog.
- If the wind is dead calm, GGO’s use powerlines and guide wires as hunting perches. This gives them access to areas they normally are not able to hunt.
- All the yellow in the background is amazing for the end of August. It shows the draught we are experiencing in NE Minnesota, and thus providing all the fuel for our forest fires.
