This species is one of the most striking we saw during a brief stay in Costa Rica. The colouring appears surreal but actually shows what we saw. The light reflection off the large leaves nearby may also have helped. Talari Mountain Lodge, Costa Rica.

Every bird photo contains a story behind it, along with a memory of the surroundings and environment. Each photo is different - one of the key reasons for taking more and more photos. Far from a textbook photo - which is fine - I'm happy to have finally seen this Great Gray in our Christmas Bird Count circle at Dorval, Montreal.

Not many Long-eared Owl uploads. This one was found on the Dorval Golf Course, Montreal, Quebec.

We had a good irruption of these birds this winter. On this day there were 100 plus at this location.

A brief Christmas day outing produced this gift. I think the camera may have over-saturated the colour, but the effect was wonderful.

A snowstorm hit this day, adding a nice ambience to this shot.

Not quite as sharp as I'd like, but the bird perched for about 5 seconds before leaving.

The highlight of the trip, not only for looking spectacular, but for seeing the excitement it created from many people and even non-birdwatchers. We were very lucky to have him fly down from a hidden perch into the open. With hope the forests can continue to be protected with increased interest and awareness of this and other bird species.

I would have loved to get a sharper image, but the bird was well concealed on an overcast day.
