Great Gray Owls
Great Gray Owls breed in the island park area, which is around an hour north of Rexburg. Some winters, especially when there's been a lot of snow, these owls come down to the valley. This winter there have been a lot of them around. My friend Cliff told me about a few he'd been seeing near Chester.
Tonight Susan, the boys, and I went out to first look for the Snowy Owl, which we found, and then went to Chester to look for the Great Grays. We arrived at Sunset and found two, one of which was sitting right next to the road on a fence post. On the drive back we saw three more sitting in some trees next to a house. I took a few photographs with the ISO set at 1600 and was shooting at 1/30 of a second (it was getting pretty dark). Here are a couple of the better ones, which aren't that great, enjoy.

You saw the snowy owl again and didn't post another picture? Sheesh! I'm really let down.
I sense a little sarcasm. I'll let it slide though.
