Last weekend (Oct 1) we decided to head up to Algonquin in the afternoon. The weather didn't look to good but I really wanted to see some of the fall colours as all the reports said they were at their peak. We left late in the day so we didn't get there till well into the afternoon. By this time the weather had gotten worse not better and we were starting to second guess the whole trip. Though the fall colours were amazing, it was cold a rainy and we didn't really want to get out of the car. We kept saying we would turn around in 5 mins or around the next corner. But we never did. Good thing to because around the next corner there was a group of cars stopped that made the whole trip worthwhile.
This Great Gray Owl just sat and watched as the crazy amount of cars and people started to line the highway beside him.
We watched this owl for about and hour, and once we had our fill we decided to continue going further down the road. Usually once I have seen one great wildlife species I usually get greedy and assume I will see more if I keep going. But that didn't happen. The next stop was Ragged Falls Provincial Park where the fall colours were unbelievable.
All in all well worth the drive!
