We got 'em around here too. Right now there's a large Gray Owl living on the golf course out back of the house. Once in a great while you'll see a great gray shadow, but more often you'll just hear a "ho-ho-hoo".

I have had Moosebirds fly into my camper and natter at me for food. Thay are quite saucy, Rap.

They really like Dad's Oatmeal Cookies. So do I... the only cookie I eat.

I have encountered them while traveling and camping in various parts of Canada, they are delightfully friendly little beggars but unfortunately I live outside of their range and don't get to see them here. I do have plenty of chickadees around though and they are quite friendly and entertaining, they will readily come to and sit on your hand if you have sunflower seeds on offer.

Delicious, with the right sauce.

Grey Jay, Canada Jay, Whiskey Jack, Camp Robber, Meat Bird, Moose Bird....

I have soooo many stories about my favourite bird. I wonder if anyone else has any stories about one of my bestest bird buddies.
