Every so often we get some GGOs that come down to Maine from the Boreal forests of Canada for a Winter visit.  Sorry, but this has to be a undisclosed location.

Very nice, Mark. The eye contact pegs the meter, and the falling snow adds the perfect touch to this beautiful image.

Great snow scene for this rarity. Love the intense look. We had one for a few days is mid-New Hampshire some years back- what a spectacular sight. The feather patterns in this picture are like snowflakes!

Great find/shot for New England! Snow and soft green branches in back really make this a nice shot. He looks very curious as well.

No Josh, but a few are showing up up here in Maine. At this time I can't disclose the locations, but I'm pretty sure word will eventually become public knowledge. If that happens, I'l contact you with  locations if you haven't heard already.
