Voici une photo d'une chouette rayée (je crois...)
que j'ai eue la chance de capter en liberté, ici à Granby.
Elle est très imposante, environ 50-60 cm
et elle ricane d'une façon démoniaque...

The poor bird looks absolutely frozen in this cold scene. A wonderful capture.

Scarabaeus from Manchester, United Kingdom

Lovely shot, I wouldn't want to be that bird. What kind of owl is it?

By the way, I believe to have fixed all the commenting problems on my blog. Please let me know if you find anymore.

25 Mar 2008 1:37pm

@Scarabaeus: Don't forget it's a Canadian bird, a little cold won't harm it! :-)

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

The poor owl looks so cold in this detailed capture. The markings of the feathers add a nice dimension to the photo. I only hope it wasn't a photo taken recently and that the weather is more "spring-like." :-)

25 Mar 2008 9:28pm

@Steven: As I said, owls are pretty tough and they have a good winter coat! As for the weather, we still have a solid snow cover and are bound to have a few more snowfalls before the end of the season, like this night we are supposed to get one more inch. Thank you for your visit,

Paul Wright from Wiltshire, United Kingdom

This reminds me of a Robert Bateman painting. He is also Canadian I believe. Beautiful shot, everything works perfectly.

25 Mar 2008 9:53pm

@Paul Wright: You are right on both counts, the photo has a similarity with Robert Bateman's style, and he was born in Toronto. Thank you for your kind works on Mathieu's photo,

Voila c'que j'ai a vous dire (parce'qu'elle peut pas parler)*
"Ah, la belle chouette....!
A pas besoin de maisonette,
Elle peut dormir sur un rameau
En bas, aussi bien qu'en haut.
Ricaner ...c'est son metier
Fault pas du tout demoniser
La belle chouette en liberte!"

26 Mar 2008 5:52am

@Japanalia: Wow !
Une chouette poésie sur vu@granby : génial.
Que cette image ait inspiré cette sensibilité
démontre que le photographe a bien atteint son but.

Job done, Mathieu !
Merci beaucoup Gabriela.

Mathieu Chasse from Granby, Québec, Canada

Thanks to all for the comments. Actually, I found out where this owl is living and sleeping (even if it have a verry large hunting territory she seems to come back all the time)....I saw it hunting the other day, she grab a squirrel right in front of me. I will try to take some more pictures when I get a chance. It's pretty big, about 60cm height and it's laughing is demoniac...to be continued.

26 Mar 2008 8:00am

@Mathieu Chasse: « ... to be continued. »
We hope so, mon cher !
