I photographed this great grey owl when he was approaching a red winged black bird`s nest and surprisingly, the bird (the mother) attacked him from behind forcing him to fly away of her chicks. the little bird was very brave and determine saving her family. I never seen some thing like this in my life. The grey owl flew away trying to save himself from the black bird`s repeated attacks . I photographed that near to Bragg Creek area. In fact I was looking for this kind of owl since two years till i got a chance to photograph this story. this is one of the most touching moments I ve seen during 15 years of photography. how a little bird can turn into an angry monster to the point that he will force an owl which was almost 30 times more in size to run away !!
