I started out at dusk on my first bike ride around the island.  The island is 8.2 miles around and the moon was bright on the lake and on the trees.  On the northeast corner I surprised an owl resting on a branch.  Its back was to me when it took off.  With one slow wingbeat it flew over the path and then disappeared in a knot of trees to the right.  

I described the owl to some friends.  It was, at two or three feet high, the largest I had ever seen.   They told me it was the Great Gray Owl.  After reading descriptions, I think this was the one I saw.  Probably a male.
