Over the years, I found great horned owls nesting right where there's lots of people traffic. GHO takes nests-of-convenience, meaning they don't build their own. They usually take a hawk nest from the prior year. I wouldn't say that owls "enjoy" people, but they are not too disturbed by us, in general.

Nice bear. Is that a local shot, or do have to go further north? Curious, I was looking at your flickr photostream. Lots of cool sightings. It got me wondering how long of a drive it would be to check out some snowy owls, black bears, grizzlies, etc.
the fish shots are great too, btw. |

Thanks man, that bear pic was taken up near Lake Nipigon, but we've got bears around here as well, just not the numbers like Northern Ontario. Snowy owls are all over Southern Ontario in the winter. The grizzly shots were taken out west on a road trip last summer. Fish shots are all over the place (Some taken in NY, OH and PA as well)
Use this link, it's super helpful to figure out where the birds are Looks like there are some Snowy sightings in PA. http://ebird.org/ebird/map/snoowl1?n...&emo=12&yr=cur

Thanks, I check the e-bird reports pretty regularly. Its a great link. I'm in South East, PA, near Philly. There have been a couple of individual sightings about an hour to my west, but it doesn't seem like any are repeatable this year, unforunately.
There's been a few Snowies that are easy to find about 50 miles from our place on Keuka Lake in NY this winter. Unfortunately, I haven't had any time to get up to the house for maintenance let alone bird chasing. There's also the two Great Grays in Robert Mose St Park near Massena this winter that I'd love to get out and see. No luck with time for that either, though. Just to stay on topic, we did a little hiking last weekend and found a graffiti spot in the middle of the woods: Wild Mushroom by Josh, on Flickr |

Fabulous wildlife shots from everyone, well done.
To get back to the more mundane, here's a shot of our river estuary at low tide. The River Lossie winds its way around the East Beach before finally emptying into The Moray Firth. Although the sky looks quite threatening, it wasn't a bad afternoon here today. The temperature was up to around 8C. Sunny Spells by Alan Butterfield, on Flickr
