[Maine-birds] Great Gray Owl- Yes

After spending last weekend in Montreal searching for a GGOW and booking another hotel in Quebec City for next weekend to search for their local bird I was comvinced to make a last minute dash for Maine's bird. After my son won his soccer championship game at 930pm last night we departed central Ma. 4.5 hours we went to bed...for 4 hours. trecked out with some other birder friends. searched for a bit finding nothing. a local guy said he had it 5 min prior down stud mill rd near the airstrip/firing range. the stream of cars stopped and waited. after some time people started to leave and search the roads. we then passed this spot again and my mother spotted it. stayed for about 1 min. life bird for all but most importantly for my 9 year old. in 2014 he did a little big year which got some local and national attention. interviewed by the newspaper telling them he wanted to see a Great Gray Owl more than anything. today was that day! to my knowledge as of 150pm it has not been seen again :(   

his blog was/is greatgreyowen.blogspot.com and then changing to greatgrayowen.blogspot.com (after a newspaper missprint)

good birding!
