    Sick of GGO vlogs? Absolutely not Steve. I'm in the UK and love to see you trudging through the Teton woods. I am becoming obsessive about that beautiful bird now. We have been lucky enough to visit the Tetons and Yellowstone twice, in 2017 and 2019. We travelled with a long mental list of wildlife and have seen it all EXCEPT the GGO. We so need to get back! Keep up the good work.

    Beautiful creatures.
    Back in the 80s I lived in a small town of 5000. Everyday on my way to school I came by a private property. On that property there was a house and next to the house there was a tree. A spruce or pine tree only a few meters away from the street and the sidewalk. On that tree there were sitting 10 to 20 owls basically every day - I don't know for how long. Must have been years. Almost everyday I took a short break there and just watched those amazing creatures. That tree became well known as the home for owls. Long-eared owls if remember correctly. So beautiful. I've never seen anything like that again in my life. One day in the late 80s the tree was gone just like that. Never saw an owl again in and around town.

    When the Owl walks it's feathers look like some giant cape. I've never seen one walking around in all the videos I've seen.

  • @stevenzilverberg6458
    @stevenzilverberg6458 Год назад

    I know how nice it is to be out in the forest enjoying the quiet solitude. All you hear is the sound of birds, wildlife and your own breath. Please be careful out there. If that were a grizzly it is likely we wouldn't be enjoying those beautiful videos of yours.

    I had one do that when I was on my belly photographing a cardinal flower with my 100mm macro. He was a little guy and far too fearless for his own good, came right up to see what I was doing and hung out for at least a half hour. It's not often I have to backup to get a bear in the frame.

  • @brianlemke6017
    @brianlemke6017 Год назад

    Looks like maybe one of your best “owl outings” of the year - for the subject, the perches and backgrounds and the light. I imagine you got a bunch of wall hangers from it and look forward to seeing them in your 2022 “best of” vlog.
    We’re on the left coast right now but can’t wait to get back to Calgary to hunt Snowies in the wheatlands east of the city and great grays in the foothills west of us.
    I loved your instagram shot posted recently of our foggy bull. I got some very similar silhouette shots I’m really pleased with. Thanks again.
