Baiting changes the behaviour of the owl and compromises its survival.

Beautiful work. I hope to see one of these in person this winter. I missed the great gray irruption a few years ago. Here in Minneapolis we have a couple of snowy owls at the airport, not the most "wild" environment but interesting to see nonetheless.

I wish I could use the words that came to mind when I saw this, but I am worried theu would not get through the filter. Well done! I wish my mother was still alive so I could send her this link - it would have made her day she loved birds so much

Amazing bird and Amazing pictures! Well done...

Dennis Steinauer		31-Jul-2005 06:30
These are just simply spectacular. I can't begin to imagine the hours you have to have spent setting up and waiting for these shots -- or how cold your fingers (and butt) had to have been. Wonderful work.

EMH		21-Jul-2005 22:22
I've been haunted by beautiful eyes before but this owls' eye's are haunting to the point of shivers and quakes! I'm glad I'm not food size to this magnificent bird. I especially like that you threw in that 'red-eye' version on the night shots. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait until next time.

Guest		06-Jul-2005 11:06

Guest		01-Jun-2005 16:06
A quick glance at the thumbnails my first impression was “Please, just post a few good ones and not a bunch of almost duplicates”. When viewing the larger images I quickly changed my mind. Each image is wonderful and very different. You must be very persistent to have captured so many images.

Bonnie Schneiderman		15-May-2005 23:46
My aunt, Augusta Cecconi-Bates showed me this site when she was here for a visit in April. All I can say is WOW! These poictures are just AWESOME! Owls are almost as great to watch as eagles. Keep up the Fantastic work Bonnie Schneiderman Sandy Valley, NV

Marvelous portraits of this wonderful rarely-seen Great Gray Owl. Here in Cape Vincent NY for the last week of February and the first three weeks of March there has been a Great Gray Owl visiting--and birders from Pennsylvania, Albany, NY Massachusetts, and Ontario have been here scanning to see it. Two days ago I saw it in our field about 1/2mile from my house. This is open land here with some trees as land markers--the copses (woods) are where the owl has been perching. Congratulations. Augusta Cecconi-Bates Mar. 17, 2005

Shane Hinkle		15-Mar-2005 05:52

I look at these and ponder, ya Great shots, but how did you stay warm? Nice pics, !! The canon IS lens helps no ? JB

Guest		04-Mar-2005 21:53
fantastic pictures!!!! superb image quality. the owl looks stunning. i use a canon 10d but never manage to get such good results. it is clearly my fault! i hope more practice will be enough!. thanks for putting up your pictures.

Guest		03-Mar-2005 20:02
Good focus work with the 10D

Guest		03-Mar-2005 19:40
You are a very talented and patient photographer. Your photos of flying owls are remarkable. Is the owl in photo 352_5261_1_650 injured (see its right wing)?

Some stellar shots. I'm very impressed. You can see my galleries at www.pbase.com/abbaswede/ But I haven't done any wildlife yet. I hope to this summer. Very well done.

Gordon W		02-Mar-2005 15:00
Outstanding gallery and comprehensive study, Gang. You have certainly been keeping that 10D busy and as one who's lived in Ottawa, I can appreciate the added difficulties in shooting out in the winter weather there. Most excellent.

Joanne		01-Mar-2005 13:56
Just looked at the gallery of pictures and the owls are just fantastic!!!!!!!!!! I gave the address to the ladies in school and they are all looking now too. A few have been set as background for our desktops.

Kevin Stanley

Donna and son		27-Feb-2005 17:08
Very good photos, as I have recently gone to see a grey owl in our area, the photos are a great way to see this species up close. Years ago, while living in the countryside of France, I had the experience of a lifetime raising a few days old, orphaned barred owl at about this time of the year(then releasing him a few months later). My understanding for owls and birds in general was brought to a whole new level of appreciation. Thanks, Donna

Steve Goldthorp		27-Feb-2005 15:54
Quite extraordinary! Words fail......... :-)) Did the owl have a box or nest known nearby or are you incredibly patient? Any owls near us would put a mile between any homo sapiens and their presence!! Very excellent - thankyou! Steve G

Michael Shpuntov		26-Feb-2005 20:03
Excelent shots. Absolutely loved all in-flight shots and closeups. There are whole lot of pictures of owls in captivity, but to get them in nature so close is a huge success.

susan		26-Feb-2005 19:29
I am so excited with the arrival of the great grey's. On our visit we were no less than three feet away from the one that poses and had no batteries in the camera. What luck. Your pictures are ones to be admired for along time. You are able to notice the distinct differences between the birds from your pictures. Congratulations. Well done.

Awesome gallery - what a beautiful creature!! seen my blog?

Gary		26-Feb-2005 16:21
As a painter, one of my favourite compliments received was "you have a great eye". Let me extend that compliment to you. Spening a lot of time in the cold in pursuit of that special view is not easy, but when you come up with an image like these of your's, it's all definitely worthwhile. Great shots!

Thanks for posting these great shots - some of them are the best I've seen.

This is a wonderful collection of excellent photographs of these splendid birds. Thank you very much. I hope you have a really long lens and didn't disturb them too much. I wanted to vote but could not find the button on this remarkably wide screen. Where is it please? AlanC

Very nice. I managed to get a few shot here near the town of Perth similar to the first few in your gallery, but none of hunting or flying. I am very impressed with your work.

Great pictures.....after the owls I had to view all others. WHAT A TALENT YOU HAVE. Thanks for sharing. You make me want to rush out with my own camera.

Angela		26-Feb-2005 01:39
Amazing shots. What a great collection. Thanks for sharing such beautiful images with us. By the way, the rodent is a short-tailed shrew.

Great photo of yours published in the Ottawa Citizen today!

A great collection of images. I particularly like the face on the image 350_5038_1_700.jpg which has a very human look about it. I'm always impressed how nature puts a human face on many animals which is secondary to the real face. I've observed faces on the head ends of caterpillar Chrysalis which look like old men with beards. One thing bothers me about your site, and that's the format or layout. I note the page is about 6 times as wide as the area displayed in and there is no word wrap to make the comments or other written material a more easily read short line. I'm baffled as to how you built these pages, though I note CSS has been used. Also: more info on the camera and lens or lenses used would be interesting for other photographers like myself. I did note one image said you used a 400 mm lens on a Canon EOS 10D. I'm jealous of your oportunity to get these images. Ottawa's my home town but I live in Killaloe now and while one of these Great Gray's showed up in the middle of February and spent time watching our bird feeder and the squirrels around it I couldn't get close enough with my max 200 mm lens on my current Olympus film camera. Thanks for the pleasure. http://hughphoto.tripod.com/

Fantastic Pictures!

I've witnessed amateur photographers baiting in these naturally tame owls by tossing live wild mice to attain similar photos as yours of them feeding. I hope you have spent the time and energy to achieve natural photographs of these birds in their daily habits rather than further habitualizing wild animals to the presence of humans. If so, very nice pictures.

David Robb		25-Feb-2005 20:23
These photos are fabulous! I think that you're a natural talent for a career in nature photography. Thanks for letting us enjoy your work.

Unbelievably fabulous pictures! To be able to capture this bird in these shots is amazing...the series of hunt shots is especially first rate!

Very good job

Guest		24-Feb-2005 22:26
Terrific shots! I saw one of these birds a few months ago here in Manitoba and it was an experience I'll never forget. A trick to photograph these birds that I've heard of is hiding at the edge of a forest and using a fishing rod and a plastic mouse cast the mouse out into the open then slowly reel the mouse in. One photographer I know swears by this method. You were lucky -you got to witness the real thing!

Emanuel		24-Feb-2005 15:42
Great pictures. Thanks! Emanul http://mp3.azeri.net .

Have you seen National Geographic magazine this month? You should. I like many of your pictures better than theirs.

Brian Sartor		23-Feb-2005 23:22
Wow !! Great work! Voted

Terry Alexander		23-Feb-2005 20:38
Excellent work

Guest		23-Feb-2005 15:37
I have been out shooting some of the the same birds (I think) and to get all those great action shots must have taken a lot of patience! Especially sitting out in the cold! Great work. What time of day did you find was best for shots?

Pic Chick		22-Feb-2005 16:39
I agree with Shaun - those particular shots made me feel like I hadn't missed a second of that poor rodent's demise! Incredible.

Shaun Lowe		22-Feb-2005 14:11
5203 to 5210 left me sitting here with my mouth open.... Amazing series!

Pic Chick		22-Feb-2005 04:45

Unbelievable shots, especially those with close-up view of eyes, tough to imagine that you've those even with 300 mm zoom, voted , of course

Gus Rosenfeld		19-Feb-2005 04:02
Just plain no nonsense photographer vigilance. Wonderfully mysterious and graceful beauty they contain, one and all - together and alone. Thank you so much - g

wendy beard		18-Feb-2005 18:47
your hunting shots are amazing!

golfpic		18-Feb-2005 01:06
Nice Great Gray Owl images. I like how your flash shots came out too, a very cool effect. Let's enjoy these visitors while they're still around as we may not see them again in the Ottawa area for quite some time again if the timing of the last big invasion is an indication...some 20 years ago, I believe.

Steve Pepple		17-Feb-2005 23:52
Wow. Great gallery. Beautiful work. You are very fortunate to be able to shoot such a wonderful bird.

Guy Schmickle		15-Feb-2005 15:14
What a great gallery! You've certainly had no shortage of owls in the Ottawa area, that's for sure. You've got some tremendous flight and stalking shots here. Gets my vote. -Guy

Guest		10-Feb-2005 02:29
Lots of fantastic shots! you'r a talented photographer.

Guest		01-Feb-2005 03:48
