more like "15 hours of getting kicked off of Ontbirds for doing the right thing and shaming a jackass."
the best part was when he threatened to shove a white mouse down Ann's throat. pure class.

Congrats on the lifer. Worth the drive, not sure about the nonsense.
I might try for the bird one morning this week.
-
Wow, what a lovely shot of a lifer; I bet it was worth the effort.

I also saw a Great Grey Owl for the first time this morning. It was very cold and windy, but there were about 1/2 dozen others also watching. He was very close to the road so nobody was trespassing or baiting the owl while I was there. My wife and I stayed for about 20 minutes before I got too cold and had to leave. I will try to go back when the weather is a bit warmer or the sky is a better colour.

Great shots Richard and Andy, just great.
-
That first one of the second set looks like he's saying, "would all you people please just go away and leave me alone?!"
;-) Very nice shots, both of you!

Very nice shots both of you.
I had my first sight of one or something like it today.
Also a first for e - adult bald eagle circling further north of the ggo location.
@560, 100% crop. Great eh? Disappeared a short while later.

Nice going Bobo, finally got your owl and in your own backyard, well almost..better than traveling to Ottawa
-
Haha true. Well one day I will get him closer. Just too cold today to hang around waiting.
About Ottawa, one guy was telling me that it is a no show there this year.
-
That first shot is really great Richard.
50 minutes each way....not really something to complain about is it. Not for a bird like this. I've driven 5 times that far for less. :D

I was very envious to see all these beautiful photos on this website. After 23 hours of failed stakeout at three different times, I finally got see it for the first time on Saturday; a lifer for me. What a great sight. Afternoon sun was perfect for everyone present. The bird flew onto a pine tree by the road and sat there till 5:30 when it flew back to the far end. It had no luck in catching anything the whole time.

Lovely light on the bird Dinu. Well captured.

Far more hours and miles compared to Dinu but finally managed to get some.
Here is my contribution.

Very nicely done Ramesh. You mentioned hours of waiting and miles of driving; how about 407 toll tax? Don't forget that.
-
That second shot is fantastic, well worth the wait.
-
Thanks Dinu, Andy.
-
Is this the guy in Brooklin?
-
Yes
