Here is a picture of the owl before he took to the air. I found him out in the middle of the afternoon, everyone else saw him when it was almost dark, I guess I got lucky.
I wish the post was better, or even if he was on a tree but at least the snow adds some interest.

I stumbled upon a group of red throated loons in a small pond located not far from the hostel. By this time the light was getting pretty low, it was like 10pm and gave a nice glow.
Thanks for visiting!

One of Algonquin Parks specialty birds, Found only in the boreal forest it is an endangered species in its US range and from what I have read rare in the park also.
I came very close to missing this one, I was about to leave when another photographer spotted it. I took this the same day I found the two Great Grey Owls, so it was an excellent day.
Enjoy

During the past week I visited Algonquin Provincial park 3 different times and I was not disappointed. Last Sunday though was an awesome day I got to see Two Great Grey Owls at the same time hunting alongside the road.
Hope you guys like.
