No problem Tom, just give me a call when you arrive! Mice are ok, but I prefer to use small IRS auditors as bait.

Awesome Work. You should set up a work shop and charge people, except for, me because I conjured up the idea. Where were these taken. I saw a similar owl at work today(new Hampshire, U.S.)......... the one day I don't bring my camera and bingo a potential good/great shot gone and past.
Thank you Clifton? These were taken in Stoney Creek, Ontario. Actually I have been toying with the idea of workshops for a year or two now. But I will let you in with a huge discount!

I think I've officially run out of compliments for you, Jody. What can I say that hasn't been said a thousand times before? Unbelievably beautiful shots... I really can't believe that some publisher hasn't nailed you down yet.
Me either Steve, me either. Thanks a lot man, for all your support! The best to you and yours in the new year!

Fantastic shots, Jody, I was wondering how you managed to get so close to a northern hawk owl (I live in Alberta and see them regularly, yet have never managed to get even remotely this close to them, wild hawk owls are extremely skittish birds!), but the mice and voles explains it. Still remarkable captures, though, great work.
I have encountered two Hawk Owls and both were very approachable without bait. Everything I have read about them while researching them, indicates the same; that they are almost tame and very approachable. It's too bad the ones you have encountered are not.
Even though this guy was baited, he is a great hunter on his own.
I don't have a photo to post but wanted to give a heads up. I really wanted to go see this guy myself too. In case you are planning to viist, this may be worth reading first. Sounds like things are really heating up. See: http://www.naturescapes.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1253421#1253421
Thank you sir. 
, can you be sure and pick use up next Friday morning at the airport. 
We will have everything we need , I even have my own mice .
