Is there a story behind the "No Photography" sign? I've never seen one.

I don't know the story if there is one. It is just at the border to private residence/acreage. The sign has been there since I started going to this location.

They are cool looking, especially when caught in flight.

A Great Grey Owl having a look. These owls are extremely rare in our area so it was a privilege to photograph him.

I was very fortunate to come across an actively hunting Long-eared owl during mid-morning today. These owls are usually nocturnal hunters so to see one during the day was an amazing experience.
