Great Gray Owl
January 1st is City Daily Photo Theme Day and the theme this month is "Photo of the Year."
Picking a favourite photo is almost like choosing a favourite child - tickety-boo if you have only one, not so much if you have more. After much thought, I settled on this Great Gray Owl photo taken last January. Great Gray Owls are not that common in central Ontario. Fortunately for me, this one was cooperative and as interested in humans as we were of it.
