It was a cloudy afternoon in late August at approximately 2 p.m. when my
husband called me to come to our bedroom. Through the bedroom window I
was shocked to see this beautiful owl perched on the ledge of our deck. He
stayed there for approximately 15 minutes looking into our greenbelt and back
to us. I was happily snapping photos until he flew away. I have never seen an
owl in the Yukon before. My husband thinks he was hunting the mice and
squirrels in the greenbelt. Nevertheless, it was an amazing moment that I will
never forget.
This was taken with a Nikon D3100 camera.
