This guy was very active yesterday afternoon along Stolte Road, in the Corduroy Dike area. He was hunting along the dike and at one time landed about 20 feet in front of the truck in an unsuccessful attempt to capture a mouse. The photos only show a dark brown mass in the grass so not worth printing.Two wolves were hunting in the are eariler in the day and after the snowfall. A couple of volunteers from the tracking class were following them along Stolte. Their car got off the main track briefly causing a little scare. Road conditions are treacherous and getting worse with each new snowfall. I'll probably keep driving it until disaster strikes and I need to get a tow. It is just too much fun to watch the owl and its behavior.
By the way, these are uncropped images taken with a 400 mm lens hanging out the truck window.
