Great Grey Owls from the North

Ottawa river

Last week I was invited over to Ottawa in Eastern Canada to photograph Great Grey Owls which this year have moved further south than normal. Such population eruptions occur maybe once a decade, so I had to go. I was on one of the last planes out of London Heathrow as a snow blizzard covered the runways.  Within a few hours of landing we were walking alongside the Ottawa river in search of the elusive owls.
