One of the great perks of living off the beaten path is the frequent wildlife visits. We're pretty sure this is a picture of a Spotted Owl. They aren't common here but actually seeing one is a rare enough event.
Mieke discovered it sitting in the Silver Maple tree close to our camp, when she got up early to write one morning. She tried to get a picture of it through the window, but between the glass and the plastic storm window, it came out will terrible quality. It did stick around long enough for me to sneak around the house and get close enough to use the zoom for this shot. I tried to get closer yet but scared it off.
I've seen moose, black bear and white-tailed deer back in here but haven't been able to get more than a shot of their prints in the mud on the road. Sooner or later I'll manage other shots of this kind.
