What is it about Owls that casts such a spell over folk? A recent experience left me upside-down in a drift of pine needles as finding myself face-to-face with a Barred Owl was such a shock that I lost the power of standing. Owls were at the forefront of my mind, but then aren’t they always? Birds Barred Owl'

Many of you in the south are enjoying great sightings of Snowy Owls ( Bubo scandiacus ) this winter. Everywhere on Facebook I see friends and acquaintance posting photos of Snowy Owls , and or status updates on how they’ve succeeded or failed in their search for reported birds. Why is that? Did I mention they’re fast?

The real upside is that it is right by my house and the Tawny Owls occasionally stray into my oak tree at night. All terrain vehicle enthusiasts ripped swathes through the wild flowers and fireraisers left the burnt out shuck of a car, so there will almost certainly be work parties to clear the litter and debris.

Driving slowly along the entrance road to the lodge we came upon a lone Marail Guan dabbling in the leaf litter nearby.

I photographed it some more.

Passing through the high oak dominated rainforests of Quetzal National Park, this road can also turn up Unspotted Saw-whet Owls and other species of the night but is much more birdy during the day. The night was understandably cool, not quite freezing but cool enough to warrant a sweater and jacket at this high elevation birding hotspot.

Largely because of the same reason this past summer was a such a good year for Snowy Owls , resulting in a huge irruption of them into the south, we are seeing huge numbers of Arctic Hares this spring. Last summer saw lemmings at a high point in their population cycles.
