Sick of GGO vlogs? Absolutely not Steve. I'm in the UK and love to see you trudging through the Teton woods. I am becoming obsessive about that beautiful bird now. We have been lucky enough to visit the Tetons and Yellowstone twice, in 2017 and 2019. We travelled with a long mental list of wildlife and have seen it all EXCEPT the GGO. We so need to get back! Keep up the good work.
The owl looked so cool walking along the fallen log. What a great encounter. Absolutely love your videos.
I LOVE when the owl walked down the log!
We don't need anymore 'cow bell" We need more Grey Owls please sir! Thank you Steve, great stuff!
Entire vlog was very entertaining, but the portion of the owl walking down the log was priceless. Keep the GREAT gray blogs coming.

Thanks 👍
When the Owl walks it's feathers look like some giant cape. I've never seen one walking around in all the videos I've seen.
To answer your question never get tired of your Great great owl videos. Excellent
I absolutely love the photo of the owl walking along the log - - cracked me up - - thank you so much for all of the information and the wonderful photos
So good - love his feet and legs as he steps down the log 😍

Cutest ever!
the owls are beautiful creatures. Never get tired of content that features beautiful creatures.
Steve don't even think about quitting on the Great Grey Owl photography, it's so great.
We won't call it the Jackson moonwalk but the Gray logstep. Thanks for the forest dance.
Not at all sick of owl videos. Maybe a little jealous! Luv your work. You do the wildlife justice.
The owl walking on the log was totally awesome! Very cool.
Thank you, Steve. I appreciate the videos where you take us on your hikes in the woods to look for owls! Beautiful pictures. I look forward to seeing more!
That last shot was epic, he turned around as much to say "what are you looking at" lol, great video great shots and a lesson on perseverance.
Just a man treading through the forest talking to himself, love it!
So cool to catch the Great Gray walking. I've never had one do that. Awesome!
Superb photos of that awesome owl, loved the one with sunlight through outstretched wings. What a wonderful afternoon for you and thank you for sharing it with us. Always love coming along on your adventures!
Steve, please keep shooting those beautiful great grey owls! We will never get tired of your enthusiasm while you are out tracking and shooting these majestic birds of prey! And seeing owls and bears at the same moments is just unreal!
Not tired at all of the owl vlogs, keep em coming! Thanks!
What a beautiful day ! Thanks for sharing. A lovely series of images, and i love the picture of the owl prancing down the fallen tree best. It oozes character. Cheers.
Beautiful creatures. Back in the 80s I lived in a small town of 5000. Everyday on my way to school I came by a private property. On that property there was a house and next to the house there was a tree. A spruce or pine tree only a few meters away from the street and the sidewalk. On that tree there were sitting 10 to 20 owls basically every day - I don't know for how long. Must have been years. Almost everyday I took a short break there and just watched those amazing creatures. That tree became well known as the home for owls. Long-eared owls if remember correctly. So beautiful. I've never seen anything like that again in my life. One day in the late 80s the tree was gone just like that. Never saw an owl again in and around town.
I'm not sick of em. I love seein em. Thanks for the great content. I hear owls around where I live all the time but never see em. Really cool animal!
Just love the video clip of him walking down the tree trunk….. slightly undermining the “majesty” of great grey owls 😂 Really enjoy these out in the woods videos - one day I will make it to your area! Thanks Steve.
I always love the owl footage! The GGO walking down the log was my favorite bit. You got some wonderful light on the bird and what a treat to have so many hours with the bird. Keep up the great work, Cheers!
It's good to have friends in high places thanks Mr owl lol
WOW. And acrobatic GGO. Awesome video, photos, and time spent in nature. Thanks Steve!!
We never never ever tire of owl vids!
I love your owl vlogs. My daughter recently recorded the call of a saw-whet owl outside her home in Brooklyn, of all places. I wish I'd been there to shoot it.
Enthralled from beginning to end, great photos too. Thank you Steve for entertaining me this evening, from NZ
No,keep on keepin on. The Grey walking the log was epic. Happy Thanksgiving Steve.
Steve, spectacular photographs of the owl Thanks for taking so long. Peace and Safe Travels
I adore the Great Gray Owl so please keep it up. Thanks for the great shots and vlogging.
So, so beautiful; your images made me weepy such is the beauty! I thought it was a surprise to turn the other day and there's a coyote 30 metres from my tail end; you get snuck up on by a black bear! Thanks as always for inspiring, entertaining and most especially beautiful content. Cheers!
Outstanding work Steve... I'd call that a very productive afternoon!
You REALLY did that owl justice!! You made him a portfolio to sell any where!! GREAT shots, all!! I enjoyed how you followed him there. My only problem was the bear. Were I there, we would have answered that age old question of who poops in the woods!! ME!! You caught so many wonderful views of the owl and illustrated so many facets of him it is amazing GREAT photography. Love every shot!! Thank you SO much for your work here. I felt they joy you felt in doing this and I enjoyed it even more.
Absolutely beautiful footage and shots of the Great Grey Owl 🦉 I especially loved the ones along the log it was walking down 🙂
I could never get tired of your GGO vlogs Steve. Infact all your adventures are great to watch. Thank you
Great video, great photos! I particularly liked the owl walking on a log video and photo.
Owl on the log steals the show!
I love the ‘hunt’ for the owls almost as much as the images, it shows that you make your own luck through your knowledge and persistence. Curious though as you lose light and have to push your ISO up to 2800 on a couple of images, do you have to do any extra post processing work? They look so clean and sharp, great work as always. Keep up with the owls and taking us along on the hunt. Have a wonderful holiday with your family.

2800 iso isn’t high….I’ve shot clean images at 12800 iso with my Sony A1. Topaz DeNoise helps.

Imho, people make a big deal about noise when they don’t really need to.
Love what you're doing with these outings. GGO's are amazing critters. Thanks for sharing.
sick of great grey owls? NEVER, you keep posting them, i'll be watching, your work is absolutely amazing....i'd love the opportunity to shoot one of these
I know how nice it is to be out in the forest enjoying the quiet solitude. All you hear is the sound of birds, wildlife and your own breath. Please be careful out there. If that were a grizzly it is likely we wouldn't be enjoying those beautiful videos of yours.
More owls more owls ,more owls ! Thanks for the vids.
Never, ever tire of these GHO vlogs!!
Looks like maybe one of your best “owl outings” of the year - for the subject, the perches and backgrounds and the light. I imagine you got a bunch of wall hangers from it and look forward to seeing them in your 2022 “best of” vlog. We’re on the left coast right now but can’t wait to get back to Calgary to hunt Snowies in the wheatlands east of the city and great grays in the foothills west of us. I loved your instagram shot posted recently of our foggy bull. I got some very similar silhouette shots I’m really pleased with. Thanks again.

Love the owls! I am also a bear fan. Please keep it up.
Some beautiful images there Steve! Guess you're loving the Z9 and 400f2.8 ! Hope you have a fantastic Africa trip, take care. Cheers from the UK.
Was hoping to see more of him on that sloped log when he was ruffled up, if that is a word. Great videos.
Brilliant love your video and wish l was there. Just a wonderful owl and very enjoyable to watch.😀👍
Defiantly not sick of seeing GGO vlogs. Really great stuff!

Who can ever get sick of owl Vlogs, keep them and all your videos coming!
I am viewing this video a year after you made it but want you to know I love your music on all of your video.
Awesome video and photos as usual! You are the great Grey owl whisperer!
I'm not tired of the owl videos and you have done justice to them. I especially liked the owl moonwalking down the branch, the 1st one more than the 2nd one. The ones with black backgrounds are also good.
LOVE the owls Vlogs, don't stop. I LOVE it when it's on the log, how precious!!!
Love the ending video!
Wow, love that shot at 17.44. Keep up the great work!
Great video Steve! Grey Owls are the hardest animal for me to find in the Tetons. Way to not let the bears sneak up on ya!
