Jerry Friedman Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 In case anybody hasn't seen this... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/great-grey-owl-lands-on-camera-1.6397792 Have you ever had a bird land on your camera or taken a picture like that? By the way, I have long thought that Great Gray Owls look like Half Dome in Yosemite, and I'm not the only one. (Warning, if it's needed: that page contains profane language.) There are Great Gray Owls in Yosemite, and maybe someday someone will get a picture with both in one frame, if not in focus. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have a Buff Collard Nightjar land on my hat when I was calling it in Colima. No photo though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 That is amazing. I’d just toss all my equipment after that, cause there would hardly be a better experience in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I didn’t know about how Great Grays are friendly! Though I guess it goes along with the friendly stigma of many boreal birds… or maybe it’s just because many of them are Canadian 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) I’m pretty sure situations like that only occur from birds that have been regularly fed by people…. Even though they said they didn’t bait it, a previously baited owl will still associate people with food. Though, the great gray I saw definitely seemed unbothered by my presence so maybe they are a bit tame. I’ve had chickadees and nuthatches land on my camera, which is no where near as interesting Edited April 1, 2022 by Aaron 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
