I don't know enough about their behaviour. Do they stick around the same general area year over year?
Owl or no owl I'll be coming back a few times I'm sure. It was good birding despite the wet weather, which turned us back prematurely. Lots to explore up on that mountain 🙂
Yes, they are very habitual. There are some spots around here where I've seen them for at least 4 years in a row. There's another spot my wife has seen them for more them 10 years.
I didn't see any signs of a Williamson's, no. But to be fair the rain kept this to more of a location scout from the vehicle. We didn't get a chance to walk much. It was dumb luck that we saw the owl whilst driving by.
My second time seeing one. First time was way up north by Fort Nelson. I was driving the truck. Slammed on the brakes and hiked half a kilometer back to get a picture 🤣

Any signs of Williamson's Sapsuckers up there?
So ungovernable.
