    You can imagine my surprise when I came upon this post!
    Hopefully, I’ll have him up there again this year come fall.
    Looks like you “nailed” some beautiful shots too with a little help from him 🙂
    Really enjoying your website Sparky!

    Best,

      Hi Robert, Glad you found the post!
      We’ll have to shoot again up there this coming fall. My plastic owl “Earl” is itching to attract some more Gos! Feel free to email me at sparkystensaas@hotmail.com if your ever coming north. I’m often up at the Sax-Zim Bog in winter too.
