Great Gray Owl Resting

A great grey owl rests in a spruce tree in northern Jackson, Wyoming.

Evidence that spring is right around the corner is popping up all over Jackson Hole, Wyoming as more and more varying wildlife is beginning to sprout up as the temperatures do the same.

Several great gray owls in particular have been seen all within a few miles of each other as they take advantage of the snow softening and melting. This is one of three that have been seen together in one particular location. Another photographer was kind enough to let me hook in to his 600mm with which this shot was taken as the owl was just beginning to come out of a long nap.
