Great to see the old friends at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. Brief morning walk was so busy with photo opportunities, it was hard to keep up!

Sue Bishop: Stunning,Brian!
BrianMorin: I waited all winter for a chance at this bird and with luck it was close enough. I originally spotted it in a field that day but too far out to shoot.

Ottawa - The winter is winding down so we can expect that this bird will be heading back to the boreal forest in two to three weeks. Because of its location along a popular walking/skiiing path it was viewed by countless people over the past few months. I wanted to make a final visit before it moves on.

Chris: Superb. Hope he has a good flight back 😊
BrianMorin: Me too. It was a great bird to watch in the last three months and proved to be the most reliable Hawk Owl I've ever seen.
