Wolfe Island- Kingston - This bird had been reported off and on by one person for a few weeks but spotting it is luck. I went there hoping but not expecting to see it and got incredibly lucky. I watched it briefly and before it took off it raised its wings and let the wind keep them up so I had about 5 seconds to get shots like this. That is a long time from a photographer's perspective. As for it being a female, I was going by size. This was a big bird.

I checked out this bird as a way to start off the New Year. Sometimes the owl hovers over its target before plunging.

Being attacked by a Northern Shrike. The owl is competition, not its next meal. I had the camera on a tripod and was watching the shrike, waiting to see if it would attack. I started shooting a couple of seconds before it reached the owl, otherwise a shot like this would be very difficult to get.

This particular bird was not supposed to be a good subject because it spends most of its time hunting from power lines. However, for two minutes it flew across the road and perched at eye level at the edge of a forest. Worked for me. This photo is uncropped. The bird was so close I had to back up to fit it in the frame. That's a nice problem to have.

male, immature, outside normal range
Ingleside - This bird was spotted about 10 days ago and has been tough to see but after successive trips I finally had luck today. While some migrate through Northwestern Ontario, only a very few make it further east and south each year. This was our first local bird.
