"Boreal October"
(20x14 in.),$1300.00
A Boreal Owl held his ground as my grouse hunting partner and I passed within a few feet of it. We were on an old, abandoned road closed to vehicle traffic, the Isabella North Road, and the diminutive raptor moved nothing but its head and eyes. It was very possible we were the only humans it had ever seen as we were eight miles from the truck in a very desolate area. With Pow Wow Lake now behind us, we were on our way to Maniwaki Lake as the remote forest of aspen and birch was in full autumn splendor, giving the dark greens of spruce, balsam and pine a newfound prominence.
