Snowmageddon Day4: GHO

0Snowmageddon … Day #4 heralds the end of wind and snow showing the nasty side of Lake Superior. At my house, as of sunrise (cloudrise?) this morning, 17 inches of the white stuff had made its appearance. The “unwinter” ended in spring. Totals will be an inch or two more as winds have remained strong through the day resulting in snow squalls.

Les and Amy, my local Great Horned Owls, decidedly did not like Snowmageddon. Here are a few images taken since Day #1. I had to wait for brief letups in the snow. During heavy snow it was impossible to taken decent photos.

And Les, Poppa Owl (Day 4: Afternoon). He is back in his perch at the top of a white pine. During the storm he had to abandon this spot where he is able to be on guard duty … too windy.

  1. Have been feeling so concerned about the birds. Just when they thought it was Spring & were matching up to nest, then comes winter! Only good thing is that the snow is insulating. Poor Amy. Hope her eggs survive.
