This little Boreal Owl was gliding from perch to perch along Broadwater Road. I had heard one a few years back, but this is the first one I've been able to watch. It is also my 205th species in the Central Kootenays! What a fantastic day. While a was taking pictures this guy stopped and asked me, " Private eye?". I told him I was taking pictures of an owl, which didn't seem to register with him, because as soon as the owl flew he asks, " Was that an owl?!" He ended up staying and taking pictures with his iphone and was quite excited about the experience. After he left I began to think about all the people that had driven by having no idea there was an unusual little owl gliding along for everyone to see. Even with me there taking pictures, hinting at something interesting by the road. I am definitely glad I caught sight of this little gem. Who knows if I'll ever see one again?
