Large Gray Bird
by Wayne Laubmann
(Pikwitonei MB CA)
I live in northern Manitoba and we saw a very large bird that was light gray. This bird was seen during the end of March when it is still cold.
The first impression is that it was an eagle because of the size. It wasn't an owl because of the head structure but I don't know what else it could have been. Some types of cranes are this color but they arrive later in the spring.
Maybe someone else can help. I did not take any photos and we seen them just the one time.
