This is only a portion of the crowd that came to see the great grey owl that has been vacationing from northern Ontario.

There were another 70-80 people on the other side of the road.
The police came several times to get people off the road as thye were blocking traffic. This road is an 80k (50 mph) speed limit.

It is nice that a lot of people were interested enough to come out to view the bird but to many were crowding the bird.

Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
