I have more pictures if anybody wants more images.
I came face to face with one of these in Fish Creek a little while ago. If it hadn't swivelled its head I would have missed it as it was so well camouflaged. My dog and I stood about eight feet away from it and just looked at for quite a while before it flew off. I couldn't believe how big it was - the first owl I had seen in Canada - I was only used to our much smaller Tawny Owl back in England.
