Moments in the mountains...


Recommended Posts

Moments like this are why I love the mountains. This barred owl spent much of yesterday evening and again this morning hunting the river next to our campsite. It even perched in a tree less than 20' from where I stood, and then flew so close I felt the air circulate off its wings.

I've had that view from my stand a couple times. Hawks, owls, even and eagle once. Awe inspiring when it happens.

Danged resident Owls here wait until I walk under wherever they’ve perched for the day to spread their wings and swoop silently over my head, scaring the cheese outta me. Then after dark they start calling. “Whoo. Whoo. Who cooks for you”

Sometimes I holler back. ;)

They are certainly nicer to hear than the rude lizards in Vietnam.

Bob’s Bald, NC in the Cherokee National Forest. Just past sunset and temperatures were already in the mid-20s, but we were having too much fun to care.

Peaceful and still mornings on the Montreal River, west of Gowganda, just after a light snowfall.
