My passion for photography began with an early love affair with birds. They are not only beautiful, but represent the freedom from the bonds of earth and gravity that has made mankind want to fly since time began. The more I watched birds, the more I wanted to photograph them, and I am sharing some of my favourites with you here.
GREAT GRAY OWL FLIGHT
The Great Grey Owl is Manitoba's provincial emblem. Although not the largest of our owls by weight, it sports a 52 inch (130 cm) wingspan that is impressive indeed. Every time I see one in my viewfinder, I thrill at the prospect of seeing it head in my direction. When these owls are hungry, they can be incredibly "tame" and almost oblivious to human presence as they hunt for voles under the snow. It is definitely my favorite owl.
