Dang! You catch the most wonderful moments in the best ways!
DANG! I had to come back and say it in bold. Viewed on larger just takes my breath away. I can’t even imagine it in actual.
Many thanks Lee-Anne …I remember the 3 + hour drive to get to the provincial park where this and several other Barred Owls wintered and 10 minutes after seeing this bird I looked at Ted and said…the trip was worth it :-)

Lee-Anne is just politer than I am. I just say DAMN, Gary. What a great mess this is. Let the chips fall where they may, you have got it! Great work; can’t say Ho Hum, though. Dang!
He/she had to get a grip and while I saw this bird on and off this stump several times ( this seemed to be it favourite perch) . this is the only time it had trouble with the landing but it quickly re-balanced and settled down :-)
