Raptors

On impulse, we went to Mud Lake.  At the usual spot, we spotted a couple of people looking up into the trees.  Sure enough, a Great-horned Owl was nestled in against the trunk, more or less asleep.  We hoped that it would move to afford better photo ops, but it was not to be.

 

Later. we went for a ski beside the Ottawa Tent and Trailer Park.  It was icy and not great skiing.  However, Barbara spotted a Red-tailed Hawk near the corner on Corkstown and Moodie, which gave us good views.
