Northern Hawk Owl, YES; Great Gray, NO

 February 1, 2026


Jane & I went to Brewer Park to try to photograph the temporary resident Northern Hawk Owl on a day with a beautiful blue sky.  We were in luck.  Right after arriving, I spotted a couple of photographers with cameras up. We quickly joined them and got our shots.




With that success under our belts, we headed for Parc des Portageurs in Hull for a possible Great Gary Owl.  We knew it was a long shot, and indeed there was no sign of it.  But we did have an interesting hike that has lots of potential for spring.
