It was a constant battle with harsh light last week. Hoping this great grey owl image is OK. I really like the wing position and the eye contact. Taken near Cochrane in Southern Alberta.
I was told by someone who used to live near Cochrane that this particular owl's name is "Lucky" and has been a regular around this area for a few years now.

Had quite a bit of fun photographing great grey owls in Southern Alberta this week. Light was not the best even early in the morning but we did what we could to make good images.

In a farmer's field in Southern Alberta a great grey owl skims the grass as it hunts the fence line.

Here is another one a bit further along in the same sequence of photos showing the impressive wing span of the great grey owl.

Found another image of the great grey owl in flight. A nice example of a reversed "C" wing position. Pretty good eye contact as well. Flickr folks please click twice for best detail.
