Spent a few moments this morning with this special winter visitor from the north.

Photo taken last week. This poor Owl was harassed and chased around by a murder of crows and a pair of Ravens. After about 40 minutes of intense activity he managed to get get away.

From earlier this fall. Such a beautiful bird with a powerful and graceful flight.
