Re: Great Gray Owl
We completed a winter raptor survey today and part of the route is in the Montour area. Unfortunately no luck for us, but then musn’t be greedy. I had a very fortunate one-on-one with the dude.
Someone want to explain why the Great Gray Owl is here? A birder told me today they have seen them in Hull’s Gulch. As the ebird data is sensitive, other ebirders probably don’t see that?
Saw other birders (I missed someone there who knew me – sorry!) and from what I understand it is still there but moving around. Lots of guns blazing today. At least the owl can read the No Shooting Safety Zone sign!
Want to report a RTHA migration kettle on Pioneer Rd in Horseshoe Bend, Boise County. Turn off east is just before the bridge where all the construction is going on. I got a headache trying to count them as they would light and take off, but approximately 17 or more. I’ve seen more in the air, but not roosting streamside. Lots of bald and gold eagles out today as well, once the fog lifted. Clandestine little Merlin made it today on the survey as well.
Cheers,
Liz

Has anyone seen the great gray today we done the area near camp ground any location more definitely
Re: Great Gray Owl
It’s always exciting to watch a raptor hunt, especially if it’s a successful outcome. How lucky you are to have witnessed that. I hope the owl is not disturbed and stays around to continue its successful hunting.

Cool and even more importantly I saw an e bird report that you saw a Barn Owl 🙂

Re: Great Gray Owl
Amazing encounter and lovely photo! I wish I could make the trip, but I live all the way over near Idaho Falls. Hoping some GGO make their way down here this Winter, too. It is my first year living here, so I am learning all of the good places to go birding 🙂
Re: Great Gray Owl
I have skulked through the same land as Dean, twice this fall/winter no luck seeing one of these beauties.
Good luck to all this holiday season and during the CBC
